Passengers on a train from Liverpool were forced to take drastic measures after a power loss left them trapped in darkness.
The trainload of travellers were left trapped inside the carriage with fellow passengers urinating "all over the floor and sink" after the toilet overflowed.
The Northern Service, from Liverpool to Wilmslow via Manchester Piccadilly departed Liverpool at around 9.30pm on Saturday night, May 7, but less than an hour into the journey it descended into chaos. An overhead power supply issue at around 10.15pm forced the train to suddenly stop and appeared to suffer a power cut, with "all the electricity going off", according to one frustrated traveller.
