I had gone to Ooty via CBE from SBC on 23rd-24th April and returned the same way on 26th-27th April.
It was a revelation to me that disembarking from AC1, there was no available toilet in the Upper Class waiting room. We got down on Platform No. 2 and discovered that a Pay and Use Toilet is available outside the Railway Station. In addition, there was a Pay & Use AC Waiting Hall with toilet facilities in the Entrance Lounge area that required you to pay Rs 15 per head per hour for using any of its facilities. On our return journey we were at CBE for 4 hours and we were 4, it was unfair to be required to pay...
more... Rs 240 to make use of that.
My query is: Why as a paying passenger I should be deprived of free Toilet facility at the station?
Even the Airport doesn't ask me to pay besides the ticket for the toilet facilities.
And this is a government with priority on toilets!
