Those of you unlucky enough to have experienced it will know the indescribable dread that comes with the realisation that there is no toilet roll, and it’s already too late. Being caught out at home is usually a navigable inconvenience, but it's soemthing more serious on a train from London to Glasgow.
One Virgin Trains traveller had just that moment, but he reached out to Twitter for help - and luckily found a sympathetic ear.
I've just had a reasonably large poo and there is no toilet roll left on the @virgintrains 19.30 train from Euston to Glasgow pls send help.

Adam Greenwood tweeted the company’s official Twitter handle, saying: “I've just had a reasonably large poo and there is no toilet roll left on the Virgin Trains 19:30 train from Euston to Glasgow pls send help.”
Adam told The Mirror: "Well as soon as I saw the was no paper - I instantly thought, let's tweet about it and make people laugh. There were a few small laughs on Twitter but nothing more. Then I sort of realised - oh no - there actually is no paper."
He was in luck though, as Virgin Trains’ responded swiftly, asking him what carriage he was in.
@AdamPlaysYT Which coach, Adam? ^MW

"I responded quickly by peering out the toilet room door and checking the carriage letter - this wasn't awkward at all, I swear,” he said.
