Are there bathrooms on trains in Europe? There aren't bathrooms on the Metro/Tube, but there are bathrooms on every light-rail/high-speed train I've ever been on in Europe. They're generally clean and perfectly adequate for the trip. That said, some of the doors are sort of difficult to open/ close.
There is typically one bathroom per train car on Italian trains. On newer trains, and especially high-speed trains, they are more spacious than what you might find on an airplane and offer the same basic features as those of a plane lavatory - a flushable toilet, sink with running water, soap, and paper towels.

WC stands for Water Closet. It references a toilet. This is not to be mistaken with a bathroom, however. A bathroom indicates a room that includes not only a toilet, but a facility in which to take a bath (or shower), too. Why is a toilet sometimes refered to as a Water Closet in Europe?
In the USA, staff were instructed to lock toilets when the train was stopped in a station and unlock them when the train was again underway. Mercifully, new trains no longer dump waste on the tracks. Instead, trains are fitted with chemical holding tanks.
Does every train have a toilet? Many passenger trains (usually medium and long-distance) have toilet facilities, often at the ends of carriages. Toilets suitable for wheelchair users are larger, and hence trains with such facilities may not have toilets in each carriage.
Other than a refrigerator/watercooler and a bathroom there are almost zero ammenities on a locomotive. Only way a engineer can go to bathroom is by stopping his train or if the conductor is a certified engineer he could run for while.
Can you go to the toilet on a train when its not moving? As a general rule, people travelling on trains are warned not to flush the on board toilet while it's not moving. That's because most trains don't have sewage tanks, meaning anything in the toilet is dumped straight onto the tracks.
