A moment of fun for those who enjoy the wonders of British railways every day.
The ever helpful people at Dutch railways, having ordered a load of 'sprinter' trains that haven't got any bogs, have found a wonderful hygienic solution for those passengers and railway staff who may wish to relieve themselves during a train journey. Of course, they could have just ordered trains with bogs, but they claim that that would cost 90 million euros per bog (!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?).
The 'plaszakken', literal translation 'pissbags' are only to be issued to those people who are 'genuinely desperate to pee'. I wonder how one is to prove one's desperation to the conductor; perhaps point to the drips appearing around one's crotch? I also wonder what you do if you want to have a poo?
This is now going to be discussed in parliament, and the twitter hashtag #plaszak is already becoming world famous.
