A little bit more digging has suggested that some overnight trains were mix of travelling post office and passenger carriages (although presume you couldn't get through from one bit to the other)
and also that newspaper trains had travelling workers to sort papers on the move (less well known than the travelling post offices, but suppose it makes sense - one van would deliver a pile of mirror group papers, another a pile of express group and so on, so it was either sort them on the move or have to sort it all out at london terminus stations) so there was usually a standard passenger carriage or two in the train so they had access to a bog.
is an afternoon working of a newspaper train going back empty to paddington, and the second carriage has passenger compartments
