When it comes to romantic train journeys, the London Underground might not be the first to come to mind. But there's one other train line that has been stealing the hearts of couples in the mood. Despite its cramped carriages and narrow toilets, it seems that British trains have become a popular spot for amorous activities.
According to data obtained by Metro, almost one hundred couples were caught engaging in sexual activity on trains between January 2021 and December 2024. That's right, you read that correctly. Dozens of couples per year have been getting it on while on their train journeys.
Interestingly enough, not all train lines are created equal when it comes to train bonks. A handful of train lines have emerged as hotspots for these steamy encounters, with one surprising winner taking the lead. Out of the 98 recorded incidents, nearly one in five took place on Southeastern journeys.
What could be the reason behind this particular train line's popularity? Some speculate that the scenic coastal views along the route, passing through Whitstable, Folkstone, Ramsgate, Woolwich, Tunbridge Wells, and Sidcup, may play a role in getting couples in the mood.
The data, which represents each time a crime for "Committing An Act Outraging Public Decency" was recorded as a couple engaging in consensual sexual activity, also highlights Southern Railway as another popular choice for train sex acts. In the past four years, there have been 10 recorded incidents on this train line, which also takes tourists and commuters to popular coastal destinations such as Brighton, Portsmouth, and Eastbourne.
Despite the decrease in train usage due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the number of train bonks has remained relatively stable, with 20-30 incidents per year since 2021. In fact, from January 2024 to December 2024, there were 23 recorded incidents, which is slightly less than the 27 incidents logged in 2023, but already higher than the 22 incidents in 2022.
But it's not just Southeastern and Southern Railway that have been catching couples in the act. The London Underground, known for its sweaty, cramped, and exposed conditions, has also seen its fair share of train sex. The Northern Line, Piccadilly Line, and Elizabeth Line have all been reported as locations where couples have been caught in the act.
However, it's the Metropolitan Line, which takes Londoners from Amersham and Uxbridge to Aldgate, that takes the top spot for the most recorded incidents of train sex. In the past four years, there have been three incidents on this particular line.

Interestingly, there seems to be a trend towards more train sex incidents in the southern regions of the UK. Far less couples were caught in the act in the North, with Northern Rail coming in fifth place with six incidents. This train line goes through Newcastle, Sunderland, and Middlesborough, suggesting that perhaps the northern regions are less prone to such amorous activities on trains.
