'Bog-standard' toilets on Chiltern Railways' trains are being transformed with images inspired by places along its main route. The rail firm wants to give passengers on its Birmingham to London trains 'a window into a different world'. Floor to ceiling vinyl images are being installed in the toilets of its trains. The first 'inspiration station' has been designed to resemble Compton Verney, an 18th Century country mansion in Warwickshire.
