Commuters stranded for more than three hours on a Wellington train were forced to improvise when nature called - using "travel johns", or disposable toilet bags, handed out by staff.

The Waikanae service was stuck on the bridge over Hutt Road after an overhead power cable came down around 7.40am on Friday, knocking out three trains.

Confession time, I only posted this because I looked up "travel johns" and found it hilarious that their promo video has a guy who is going to take a piss behind a tree in the bush, and uses a "travel john" to do so.

Huh, it uses the same sort of polymer that's in nappies. Also lmao at them calling it eco-friendly compared to just rocking a piss in the bush.
