Rail passengers' fury as children 'wet themselves' after toilets locked on overcrowded trains

🔴 Rail passengers have complained of having to stand on overcrowded trains with locked lavatories, and children screaming in discomfort and wetting themselves as chaos continues on services across the north of England
