A rail operator is spending a penny on toilet facilities at a Dorset station.

The toilet facilities at Wool station are currently 'outdated' and as such South Western Railway is undertaking maintenance works to raise the standards.

Higher standard of lighting, hand driers and heating will be amongst the new additions to the toilets. 

It is expected that the works will take around four weeks to complete after they begin on Monday, November 21.  

A spokesperson for South Western Railway said: "Wool station has old and outdated toilet facilities which are being upgraded to bring them up to current South Western Railway standards.

"The refurbishment starts on Monday, November 21 and will take approximately four weeks and when it is finished the facilities will have new toilets and better lighting as well as hand driers and heating - which they currently don’t have.

"We are working to minimise the time that the toilets will be unavailable by working with our colleagues from Network Rail, who will be rewiring the whole station during the same period."
