Southeastern is introducing Kent-inspired 'cistern chapel' style art displays on the walls of its toilets.
After passengers stated in feedback the condition of latrines is very important to them, the train operating company - as well as cleaning them daily - has decided to start changing them from the standard conveniences currently in place.
The new murals will feature coastal and landscape scenes from around the county in the style of a photo-gallery.
They are being tested in four of Southeastern's class 375 trains running from the Kent and Sussex coasts into London.
Barbara Thomas, passenger services director, said: "Our passengers tell us that the environment and cleanliness of our on-board toilets is extremely important to them.
"This project will test the design and practicalities of the initiative and following this, we plan to ‘roll it out’ to more trains."
Southeastern remains the subject of much commuter hate, but the news will surely be welcomed by Steven Staples, who last month got stuck in the loo of a Southeastern train before he was rescued by a little girl.
Southeastern plan to commission another series of designs for additional class 375 trains, which will be launched later in 2015.
