23:02 506 stuck nearby, operator will also need a bathroom break soon. Control tells them to lock their LRVs and meet up to find a bathroom.

23:37 506 operator back from bathroom break. Line voltage 830V. Attempting to get to Willis Way.

That's a long bathroom break! Probably got frustrated and just wanted to sod off for a bit.

I guess if they had planned ahead and put public bathrooms at each station, if an operator could get close to there, they could use those. I wonder too, if they have an option where if an operator needs a break, whether security is allowed to be there as an alternate in case there are members of the public on board?
