Not too bad, someone outside of the train company has put some thought into that answer.

I suspect it was the programmer of the software. We would always ask "so what happens if ...?" usually to the annoyance of the marketeers

Why not a mechanical lock, as on some of the newer German trains.

If only the same people were in charge of things like brakes and onboard computers...

Japanese trains as well: electronics everywhere and privacy in the kludgie is basically a hook and a loop...

Indeed. Now all Siemens need to worry about in Germany is getting the electronics on rest of the bog to work as well as the mechanical catch and we may have a decent train for the millions of Euros they've cost...

Brits have a history of vandalism against anything mechanical in a toilet. No idea why digital gubbins are usually safe, must be some weird primeval instinct ...

Things that bother me
People who walk across the top of a riding escalator - very close to it
They do this in the local Tesco - so basically people are being delivered to the top floor and if they go back then they could bump into the person behind them and chaos could happen - possibly resulting in injury
but some numpty decides to walk across the top without checking in any way if anyone if about to come off it
It has got better due to the pandemic - people are further apart - but before that I saw several near accidents!

I took a spider on a 100 mile ride the other week. Well I presume I did, it was there at the end and it hadn't had an opportunity to hitch a ride except at the beginning.
Go see the world my son, his mother said to him and he ended back in a dusty garage in the shoot hole that is Leicester.

He must be one disappointed spider.

Did you use Strava - he could look up where he went on the Web

If you are sent to spy for your country and need to keep a low profile, should you drive an inconspicuous vehicle such as an old Ford Fiesta rather than an Aston Martin?
