I've had a group of men bring huge sacks of rice and curry powder onboard a train. The most disgusting thing I have seen, was a couple having sex in an empty carriage on a late night train. They got on at Stoke Mandeville Station and couldn't control themselves for just the 6 minute journey to Aylesbury (the next station). Disgusting! Unbelievable!

Who's Striker? And where's my mommy damn! Did I miss something guys?

Striker is one of our fellow members - can be quite outspoken, although some of the conversation recently (about cars mainly) I have found quite interesting.

Something I have just seen though may potentially mean he has a lifetime ban now but we will have to see what happens

Jimmy, I don't know how to break this to you, but if you were to be promoted to Senior Tooth Fairy, when removing teeth from under pillows, money has to be left, not taken. The Fairy Police would be on to you like a ton of feathers if you stole the children's money AND teeth...

no steal peoples teeth out of there mouths then put them under my pillow and rein in the big $$

Once boarded a REP+TC that just had arrived at Waterloo from Weymouth, sat down and noticed a dead mole under the seat opposite. There was some sand on the floor but no sign of where it had burrowed in.

Maybe he was from MI5 spying on the condition of the train. :D and got caught <D

Another one which took place on a station, about 10 - 12 years ago at City Thameslink during the evening peak somebody thought it would be a bright idea to go down the escalator - on a motorbike.

There was a video a few years ago of a lad going down an escalator on Skis, it was at a tube station and apparently was the longest escalator on the network. There was a few angles too, he had a head mounted camera, an accomplice at the top and the bottom too all filming. Pretty neat stuff.

I wouldn't describe that as disgusting. Funny perhaps but not disgusting. One can only assume that you have led something of a sheltered life.

That was at least done at a quiet time, the accomplices making sure it was all clear for him.

The incident with the motorcyclist happened during the evening peak. I forgot to mention in my previous post that he also rode it across a busy concourse.

Had a couple of funny incidents on trains before - both on 185's and in both case involving the disabled toilet as I was sat in the area outside FC as it is usually fairly quiet

On one occasion three girls went in together and were in there for well over 10 mins. Quite a few people realised I think as train was quite busy.

The other was when two (somewhat drunk) guys went in together. There were quite a few people in the area outside and I think they realised this so started playing up to the crowd (well, one assumes :/) - there were a few people outside trying not to laugh though

Not sure if this qualifies but I was on the Berlin U-Bahn S2 line going home late one night and I had a copy of the Daily Mail with me.

There were some English women in my coach chatting about their sexual conquests that evening. After hearing so much as I could bare in so much detail, I took my copy of the Daily Mail and held it high for them to see.

They soon went quiet when they saw me reading an English newspaper! As I left I informed them most Germans speak good English and to be careful in future.

Was once on a late Saturday evening service from Manchester Piccadilly to Blackpool North, returning from a Class 37 tour & a young couple going out for the evening got on @ Salford Crescent to Chorley & let's just say the young lady was either very hot or very adventurous and was wearing a rather short skirt without any underwear & showing everything!

Quite a few years back found an untouched and neatly laid out (but cold) McDonalds cheeseburger/fries meal complete with cup of tea neatly laid out with napkins on the chair of an old 4Cig slammer at Reading once. Bizarre!

Not seen anything, But strangest thing I heard about was someone taking a bag full of crickets on a Virgin XC service. They escaped from the bag and the train was caped at York and the set had to be fumegated.

Probably the strangest thing I've ever seen is the rush of ladies from a coach on my Clapham Jct to brighton train late one evening, because there was an old boy in the coach with a bicycle, and he was masturbating. Had to wait quite a while at Merstham for the BTP to take him away!

I was travelling from Nottingham to Sheffield a few weeks ago and was bringing a kitten back for the kids. Anyway during the journey I took the kitten out of the box and placed in on my lap and gave it a bit of a fuss. I was sat where the tables are.

Anyway we approached Langley Mill and this old dear at the top of her voice turned around to me and said "you disgusting pervert doing that in public"...you should have seen her face when she realised it was a kitten and not me doing something.

I once had a 150 instead of a pacer. AND the guard was about 20. Female. And pretty hot. Quite strange. Not the usual pacer. And a hot guard :)
