I've logged a complaint about the trip which is completely being ignored and lied about. I will be taking legal action

It was fast and the break time at Montrose was longer than usual which is good and I'd like to provide some feedback regarding the restroom facilities. I understand that the toilets are designated for liquid waste only, but I believe it would greatly benefit everyone if we could also use them for solid waste. Perhaps there could be options for improving the plumbing system to accommodate this?
