If they need the toilet, they will have to use the restrooms in the stations, which are not near the platforms.
Sounds like a planning mistake…
The toilet break was described as “urgent”.
I’m surprised that they don’t have some contingency plan for this sort of thing. You know, like radio ahead and have a substitute conductor waiting at the next station. Because shit happens.
Maybe they do have a contingency plan and it failed.
It’s incredible how seemingly no business of any kind seems to understand this.
Skeleton crews with no backup plans are seemingly just fine for all of them. I imagine because the cost of retaining extra staff to prevent problems is higher than simply “hoping nothing goes wrong and dealing with the disaster if it happens.”
It’s cool though, since nobody needs jobs or anything. Lol

Every seat on a train should have this.
And every airplane seat
But there might not have been any major inconvenience to passengers, as trains continued to arrive and depart at the same intervals as usual.
This is a big thing. They come every 5 minutes going every direction in Seoul. No one checks the schedule before they get on.
The benefits of such a high frequency really makes transit so much more user friendly. In my area we only have buses, and risking waiting a full hour or more if you miss your bus cause it was a tad early sucks a lot and isn’t even trying to compete with the convenience of a car.
The high frequency is essential, and definitely the part you notice when you travel functional cities
