This video was recorded at 75+ mph, literally! But the train was still smooth enough that there isn't much shaking in the video. Number one, this train is amazing, even though they can't yet push it to the 110 mph which it will reach in about 3 years.
There is one restroom per car on a Talgo Series 8, and this definitely was ADA-accessible with lots of available space. The toilet is very powerful and goes through a rinse, vacuum and refill process over just a few seconds. Obviously it's quite different from a standard tank or flushometer-based toilet but it still is interesting to watch. There is a slow-motion replay at the very end of the vacuum action pulling down the water and toilet tissue used for this demo.
If anyone has an idea as to the manufacturer of the restroom unit and toilet, let us know. We think it's an 'EVAC TRAIN' but we're not 100% sure.
