Porn on train

Oh dear…

Passengers had “pornography” played to them over the public address system as they travelled on a London train.

Paul Brunton tweeted footage as sounds from what appeared to be an adult video were broadcast on a Wandsworth-to-Clapham train on Friday morning.

While Brunton initially said the incident happened on the Tube, Transport for London were quick to respond that it was not one of their trains.

South Western Railway has apologised for what it said was a “wholly unacceptable incident”.

The operator said in a statement: “We have a policy of blocking inappropriate material, including pornographic websites, on its onboard and station Wi-Fi services.

“We are investigating this incident to establish how this material was broadcast on our service.

“Today’s incident is wholly unacceptable and we apologise to customers.”
