Does TP stand for TransPennine or... ?

On the TransPennine express train from Manchester to Edinburgh on Tuesday morning there was no tp.
"I'm desperate to wee", said 1 girl to her male companion, who seemed disinterested (what's new?).
And there were no staff to even make the complaint to (the woman collecting rubbish seemed to have disappeared).
Isn't it bad enough that we have mixed toilets on British trains (unlike Canadian ones) without everyone being supposed to (offensively) 'drip dry' in the same way?
This may, yet again, seem like a minor chink in a world suffering earthquakes and cyclones, but if the small things aren't paid attention to, even more big things will erupt.
