Although normally the flush toilets empty out onto the tracks, I trust this has been stopped. The track workers quite rightly didn’t like it.
One of the grimmest things at getting off of a train at Liverpool St station is the smell of train loos that had emptied out in the station.
In time I trust it will ebb away.

I think the Mark 3A sleepers on the Night Riviera to Cornwall also came fitted with retention toilets from new in the 80s, but I wouldn't swear to it. Mark 3 day carriages definitely flushed onto the tracks, though those that are left are being retrofitted with tanks. I always found the visible turds and toilet paper worse than the smell, but I haven't spent much time at Liverpool Street specifically.
