What does a train passenger do when he needs to go to the toilet?
I always wonder how a train passenger does it. For example, when I take the Ringbahn (circle line) in Berlin, a trip takes about 60 minutes. I've never experienced a driver needing to use the bathroom quickly. Or what happens if someone suddenly gets stomach problems. I have the same question about DB on "long-distance" trains, like Berlin-Munich. Are there two drivers in the cabin on ICE trains and the like?

In our routes of buses there are toilets (either mobile toilet houses or fixedly walled) at many stops. Thus, the bus drivers must plan their intake, in particular of beverages accordingly.
In the case of trains of long-distance transport, the drivers are usually alone. However, they have the advantage that toilets (eg for passengers) are present in the wagons.
The Tf has to plan this. At the S-Bahn in Berlin does not drive a Tf all the time, they change.
Just like the ICEs or other trains, at the ICE from Hamburg to Munich, the Tf will change in Hanover.
If it is no longer possible, the train has to stop, because no other than the planned Tf may lead the train. Service code!
It was already indicated: In the long-distance transport of the train, the locomotives change regularly as they want to be home again in the evening. For the example Berlin-Munich it could then be that one from Berlin to Frankfurt and another from Frankfurt to Munich. Furthermore, there are always a few minutes of stay at some stations, which the locomotive driver can then use (I have already seen this way). If the stay is too short, there is delay.
