I write regarding a campaign involving Brighton Pavilion MP David Lepper to make toilets available to passengers on every train journey (The Argus, March 28).

It seems to have taken Mr Lepper a long time to come out of the woodwork regarding this problem - it has been going on for years.

I used to work for British Rail at Brighton Station from 1971 to 1991.

For the first five years, I was a travelling cleaner on the Brighton to London Victoria route.

I regularly encountered problems with toilets not flushing or becoming blocked. I am sure it is no different today.

Brighton and Hove City Council did not think its actions through when it closed down most of the public toilets in the city.

You should get your act together, Mr Lepper, and make our toilets in the city available again.
