Most railway stations do not have toilet facilities, so it is advisable to use those on the train before alighting if necessary.
Whilst the walks are risk assessed, and may be changed at short notice if necessary, it is your responsibility to ensure your own personal health and safety, by wearing appropriate footwear and clothing, and bringing sufficient food and drink with you.
