Railway bosses have apologized after pornography was broadcast over a train’s loudspeakers.
In a video posted on Twitter, passenger Paul Brunton showed commuters on a South Western Rail train giggling as sexual sounds played throughout the train.
Mr. Brunton captioned the footage: “My tube driver casually watching porn whilst leaving the tannoy system on…”

According to Story Trender, the train users appear bewildered as the sounds blared from the speakers. “Is this coming from the driver?” one of the bewildered passengers is heard asking in the video. Others giggled, while a woman is caught on camera blushing at the thought that the driver was watching explicit videos while on the job.
Paul said: “It kept on going for about three minutes. Most passengers found it very amusing, as you can see from the video.” And the internet was quick to respond to the viral video.

Hope he got done before they pulled in at the last station, otherwise "buffering" could take on a whole new meaning
