Refurbed Meteor coach car

[me_little_me]

I was quite impressed with the look and comfort of our coach car on the Meteor last Saturday. Two refurbed cars with the rest being dumps. Nice new seat coverings and more. Of course, the old metal parts (like leg rests and foot rests are still there and as (non)-funcional as ever and unfixed. The bathrooms have not been improved either.

The bathrooms should be getting new floors.

Now that's an improvement! But only if they are rusting through!

They need working locks (door locks, light does not; door won't lock; door sings back and forth if nobody is in BR).
They need new faucets, toilet seats, TP holders, etc.
They need electric hand dryers to reduce the problem of overfilled paper towel bins. One drops the crumbled up towel in and it sits near the top due to not fully open plastic bags then others doing the same make it overflow, dumping towels on the floor especially when shaking train helps them along. Nobody wants to stick their hand way down to push all the other towels further in the bin. The result is paper all over the floor and a bin only really 2% full but overflowing.
They need BRs that look less those in prisons as most people will take care with places that look nice than those that look like "we spare every expense".
Lastly, and more importantly, even McDonald's expects (and makes) their employees clean the restrooms far more often (at lower pay) and a comment to the duty manager will result in almost immediate action.
