I'm not saying. It was a long time ago, but there is no statute of limitations for it. If the heat ever dies down, or if I'm feeling very unwell, I may 'fess up. But I knew a man make a deathbed confession, then get better. Ruined his life, it did.

Oh my... Doing 'the act' on the train is more commonplace than perhaps you'd like to believe... I've heard of people doing it on a Bus before...!

Now some may believe this or not...!

CrossCountry HST (High Speed Train) Service, First Class, Coach A Disabled Toilet... Needed to avail myself of the facilities, opened the door and 2 rather red faced teens greeted me... To make the situation worse I couldn't get the door to close again...! Shocked Lips sealed Embarrassed After frantic close door button pressing whilst trying to look anywhere else but in the toilet the door closed and I opted for the Coach B toilet instead Roll Eyes



Craziest thing I've probably done is play CounterStrike:Source online whilst sat on a train over 3G/4G... It actually worked rather well Grin

Having read what she did, I'm not so sure my experience was so crazy after all.

Moving on, I recall reading about a young couple on their way home from a day at the seaside on the south coast (Brighton springs to mind), who had been thoroughly refreshed, and became ever more enamoured of each other as the journey progressed. Passengers harrumphed in silence, and tried to look the other way as they consummated their day out, but none complained. Until, that is, they lit the traditional post-coital cigarette, which is what landed them in court.

I am an ex-smoker.

What? Being an ex-smoker? I read the other bit as a report, including names, ages, and employer (I think a major supermarket chain) and penalty (cheaper than a hotel room in Brighton, AIRI, but that's another story).

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
