Honestly, the lack of onboard toilets does keep the trains remarkably clean. There’s no mysterious puddle on the floor, no suspicious smells that could knock a pigeon out of the air. The carriages smell like new car and ambition, which is a welcome change from the old Tube carriages that smelled of rain and sadness.
Plus, it forces you to plan your hydration. You become a hydration ninja. You learn exactly how much tea you can drink before a 30-minute journey without disaster. It’s a life skill, really. You’ll be a better, more prepared person for it.
So, are there toilets on the Elizabeth Line? Yes, but not on the train. It’s a system that works if you’re smart. Treat it like a camping trip: do your business before you leave, know your pit stops, and never, ever trust a full bladder on a Liverpool Street to Shenfield journey. You’ve been warned. Now get out there and enjoy the smooth ride—just bring a map of bathrooms
