Edinburgh Waverly

Someone mentioned about Edinburgh Waverly station recently.
Whilst in Edinburgh to meet someone in the morning by afternoon I took a walk along to see this situation.
The temporary toilets are still in place, I went myself just to have a look.
I have discovered there are 4 cubicles, cubicle 1 then splits into 2 more cubicles and a urinal that can hold up to 4 men peeing at the one time.
However the toilets are unisex. There is a queuing system where the guard shouts for men or women to come forward. The woman get to use the 3 cubicles however depending on queue sizes the woman may also use the 2 cubicles where there is a urinal also this then means any man waiting has to wait until the woman are out. So at times there is an option for 6 men to use the toilet but other times none, so its toilet roulette basically. I caught 3 sightings on my visit with interst.
One Asian man very desperate that he was holding himself in the queue for 5 minutes, at one point covering his face as he was prancing.
One macho man in his 40s hopping to one foot from the next obviously desperate but to mascaline to really show it.
And one man in early 30s in a kilt bent over the barrier whilst he waited his turn with desperate facial gestures.
Will be returning next Saturday for more sightings now I know how the system works and how lack of facilities there are. The previous toilets had 4 male cubicles and around 15 urinal spaces and could often be bust so to go from 19 available toilets to 6 is a very dramatic cut.
