I use that button to close the door when I have finished using the train toilet. You have to race the automatic door and rush out before it closes on you.

(Of course the button should be outside).

Why do you want to close the door if you're not inside? If that's not the norm, doesn't it just indicate to others that the toilet is occupied?

Because they stink, and it's very unpleasant for people in the carriage sitting near the toilet if the door is open.
