A woman travelling on the 12.40pm from London Fenchurch Street to Shoeburyness on January 10 noticed the carriage empty as it passed through Barking and Upminster due to passengers leaving the train.

She stood up to get something from her pocket, and noticed a man sitting in the seats behind her. The man began masturbating, before he left the train at Benfleet.

PC Lauren Newling said: “I am keen to speak to the man in the CCTV image as he may hold vital information which could help us in our investigations.”

Anyone with information should call British Transport Police on 0800 405040, or text 61016, quoting reference ESUB/B3 of 27/01/15. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
