Yes, but I thought it was clearly in the context of 'all London terminal stations'... or did you seriously expect me to list every station in the country which charges for the use of toilets?
The point being that the reason Kings's Cross charges and St Pancras doesn't is simply because they are operated by different companies.
Not at all. Forgive me if it seemed like I was expecting a ridiculous level of detail of toilet charges to be posted. My point is that the situation with toilet charging, central London or not, is currently discretionary based on operators and current usage (including exactly which people use the toilets). I should really have gone on to say that the same rules can apply to drinking water, in terms of charging and discretion, rather than making an opaque comment about bringing your own. What I mean is that there may be times when it is both good customer service and also of minimal cost to provide bottled or chilled water, but that these situations may be rare. I do not agree that drinking water should be free of charge whenever alcohol or general food/drinks are available onboard. It would be ridiculous to enforce this with trolley services and/or where stops are reasonably close together and the changeover of individual passengers is quite great (some XC services spring to mind). Sleeper and Pullman/Chef services may provide this facility to customers using berths and restaurant coaches (respectively) and that's fine.ask on long-distance limited-stop services, provided
