TfL launch urgent probe after tube driver boasted of performing sex act on colleague between stations
A tube driver has boasted of performing sex acts on a colleague in between stations, launching TfL to launch an urgent investigation.
Sharing online, the woman said that on one shift, she had a sexual interaction with a fellow worker as the tube went from King’s Cross to Caledonian Road on the Northern line.
Bragging about her X-rated antics, she said that the public would be “surprised” at “what we get up to”.
She said: “It’s a long section because between those two stops you’ve got a disused station called York Road.
“We were driving late, so very late, so there’s less people on board.”
And in other message exchanges, the driver hinted that there had been more than one steamy session.
A source said: “Drivers are getting handsomely rewarded after yet another pay rise and always threatening to go on strike.
“But it sounds like they’re living it up, and having sex sessions at work.”

She has since been suspended by TfL and a probe into the behaviour has been launched.
A spokesman said: “We take the safety of our customers extremely seriously and do not tolerate any behaviour that could put safety at risk.
“We are urgently investigating the information that has been provided to us regarding this driver, in line with our policies and procedures and further action will be taken as necessary.”
Earlier this month, it was announced that plans to introduce driverless trains on the underground network have been scrapped.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said that introducing driverless trains “would cost billions of pounds on each line” and that plans to do so “shouldn’t be progressed any further”.
His response came after Alex Wilson, Reform UK’s London Assembly member asked Khan whether the advantages of going driverless “far outweigh the costs”, citing Paris and Toyko as an example.
Khan said: “Learning from other metros around the world, particularly Paris, which provided input into the work, the most practicable way of conversion would be for it to coincide with the introduction of new rolling stock, signalling and platform edge doors at the same time as part of a line upgrade.
“This would be needed to justify the high costs.”
