Vienna Train Station Toilets

Ames

Hi,

I know this is a bit of a bizarre topic.

Has anyone else used the toilets at Wien Hauptbahnhof recently? What on earth is the little robotic thing about when you press the flush button that's on the actual toilet? When the seat started spinning I thought I was hallucinating.

Please someone, tell me I wasn't hallucinating...

Were you sitting on the seat at the time? Tell us more!

Ames

No, thankfully! There were two flushes, one on the toilet and one on the wall which I didn't see at first. I pushed the one on the toilet and a box came out of the wall, sprayed water into the toilet bowl, and then the seat started spinning round. There might have been more, but the spinning toilet seat was quite hypnotic and is what I mainly remember.

Unless, as I said, I was hallucinating.

But who hallucinates dancing toilets?

It wipes the toilet seat.

Not been to that specific loo but have been to others in Europe with this. It cleans the toilet seat, pretty nifty but slightly unnerving the first time you see it in action!

Ames

Aaah, thanks, that makes sense.

Saving Pennies, yes, slightly unnerving describes it well!

You should have a peek at the gents urinals at Barton Grange, near Preston.

The gents might have a problem with me taking a peek!
