“Thameslink Train⟳ Services Director Rob⟳ Mullen responded: "A very low level of legionella was found during testing in a small number⟳ of our Class 700 train⟳ toilets. While it is extremely unlikely this would cause any harm⟳, the toilets were immediately locked out of use⟳. The trains were taken out of service and these toilets have⟳ now been drained, bleached and had their tanks completely re-filled. There is no recorded case of anyone, ever, having contracted legionella from a train⟳."”
