A police appeal has been launched after a couple were caught in a shocking indecent act on a busy ScotRail service between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The incident happened on board the 7pm train from Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley on Saturday, June 8. Shortly after departure, a woman was seen performing a sex act on a man in full view of other passengers.

British Transport Police say the couple were sitting in the seats nearest the doors at the back of the train. Their behaviour was only interrupted when the train guard approached to carry out checks.

The pair have since been identified, but detectives are now appealing for witnesses who may have seen the incident unfold.

The man is described as white, in his late thirties, of regular build, with a short, scruffy greying beard and facial tattoos. He was wearing a black baseball cap, black hoodie and jeans, and was carrying a black backpack.
