Just had a reply to my email about this that I sent to Southern Railway, Unfortunately I couldnt copy and paste the e mail, as I dont know how. It said, that particular train was a class 313 which are used on the routes from Southampton and Portsmouth to Brighton and because the journey is less than 1hr 30 mins and 90% of travellers only go 1 ot 2 stations toilets are not provided on the trains Toilets are available on most stations on that line should they be needed.

To me this is a most unsatisfactory answer and explanation and a really wrong assumption. Are travellers from Southampton to Brighton supposed to get off at Angmering and then join a later train.?

Crap response I agree. Doubt their stats are accurate either - 90% 1 or 2 stops ??

The whole of the London Underground system is without toilets on trains. I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain about this and some routes are very long indeed.

Too true. Try Finchley Road to Uxbridge - 45 minutes. If you need a toilet then I suggest you plan ahead.

I wouldnt know but I do know the ones on the Brighton bound platform at Worthing.are. Nobody has thought to tell the idots of Southern Railway. Either way who wants to get off a train use a toilet then wait for the next train?

It's not always ideal to piss in the gangway between coaches either, if people are watching.

I used the toilet at Portsmouth & Southsea station yesterday as I was bursting after being on a train without a toilet - 20p as well plus NO first class toilets as well, shame on GTR

The bus from Brighton to Eastbourne takes an hour but i haven't seen any complaints about lack of toilets.
The British just seem obsessed with complaining about the railway system. it can't be that bad or expensive as passenger numbers have at least doubled over the last 20 years.

If desperate you can get off the bus and get another one a couple of minutes later as Southern suggested for the train but they are not so frequent.

Do you trust everything that people tell you? There is deffo toilet at Shoreham, possibly West Worthing and portslade - fuzzy memory, and I'd be amazed if not at Saints central & Pompey
