ScotRail has scrapped proposals to allow free access to toilets at Glasgow Queen Street station.
The station, which is currently undergoing a £120m development, is one of four Scottish stations to maintain the charges.
The decision comes less than a matter of months after Network Rail scrapped fees at Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley.
ScotRail had been looking to follow suit with Glasgow Queen Street, Aberdeen Inverness and Fort William, but they now say the move is not viable.

They say British Transport Police are concerned that free toilet access could increase anti-social behaviour.
A ScotRail spokesman said: "After carrying out full safety assessments, gaining feedback from industry partners and assessing the long-term costs, it was established that removing charges was not a viable option."
Glasgow Central's 40p fee was scrapped earlier this year by Network Rail as part of a bid to improve passenger experiences.

Before the cut, the station raked in £325,109 in 2016/17 through its toilet charges, which was down on the previous year from £347,928.
The public sector body said it wanted to put "passengers first" and help make their journeys "a bit more hassle-free".
