>>My father was a train driver. He had things called "privies", a privilege ticket system for the family, wasn't free but it was cheap

FIL had a manual role on the railways but had privies etc. and with MIL used them an awful lot.
Off to Europe lots of times when others had not travelled " abroad".
IIRC they were in the South of France when war broke out and travelled back in a hurry in the train loo as there was no other space on the train.
They travelled a lot just after the war so my wife had lots of great trips.
Switzerland and Italy had to suffer MIL :-(
