Train drivers to get toilets after pooing tragedy
The Seoul subway authority will install toilets in drivers' compartments, after one of its engineers plunged to his death while apparently relieving himself from a moving train.

The Seoul Metro plans to provide nearly 400 toilets from this month in drivers' cabs, and increase the number of staff bathrooms at stations, a spokesman said on Thursday.

'A major concern is the smell,' said Kim Kyung-mo.

The incident that prompted the move took place in December when a driver, apparently suffering from diarrhoea, leaned out of his compartment and fell on the tracks. He was hit by another train, local media reported.
