>>> They should have just been given a cab key for restroom breaks. <<<
Without taking away from the feat just accomplished, and in the spirit of having to walk to school seven miles in a snow storm, uphill both ways; you have to hand it to the pioneers of the Grand Tour who went alone or with one other person, with no contact with the outside word by cel phone or internet, surviving on candy bars and sodas from platform machines, and using only the (ugh) public toilets. They would disappear into the bowels of the earth, and emerge a day later clutching the log book in which they entered their various transfers, to be known only by their small circle of railfan friends, since this was not the sort of behavior you would put on a job resumé. Those who tried and failed, didn't even mention to close friends that they had tried.
