A QUARTER of Britain’s rail carriages are still dumping human excrement directly onto tracks, transport union RMT said yesterday.

RMT has been campaigning for regulations to enforce installation of retention tanks on trains so sewage can be disposed of safely, but it said the government was not listening.
