Default Adding upstairs wc and installing manhole

The message .com
from "deano" contains these words:

I need to add a toilet upstairs via an external stack. I'm also
thinking of connecting the downstairs toilet to this new stack, out
through the back wall and blocking off the current underfloor
connection. This is mainly because adding new pipework (for both
toilets) would be easier than trying to tap into the existing
underground one that goes to the downstairs toilet (I think?).


Where is the current stack and why is it not practical to plumb the
upstairs WC direct into that?

There is no stack! The downstairs loo goes down into the floor and
then,
AFAICT is connected straight into the underground pipe at the back of
the house.
There must be a stack somewhere, maybe for more than one dwelling, but
I couldn't see one.
