London, July 18 (ANI): A Brit train
driver may lose his job following claims that he pleasured himself at the
controls of a 125mph locomotive.

The driver has been accused of ogling porn and
performing a sex act while operating on one of the country’s busiest lines, and
a colleague allegedly wandered into his cabin mid-journey and spotted that his
privates were exposed.

The driver approached bosses himself when details of
his antics circulated among staff, and Virgin Trains have suspended him pending
a disciplinary hearing.

He is likely to be sacked if the allegations are
proven.

“He was considered a reliable driver but his career
looks like it has hit the buffers,” the Sun quoted a source close to the probe
as saying.

“He had no choice but to inform bosses himself when
it got around the depot. A train manager is said to have walked in to his cabin
to find him gazing at a porno.

“Some colleagues found it amusing. But there could
have been more than 400 passengers on that train and it’s difficult to see how
he could have been concentrating fully on the controls,” the source added.

The drivers’ cabins on the majority of Virgin trains
have tinted windows, while the front windscreens are transparent, but the cabin
position makes it difficult for passengers to see inside.

Modern trains are designed to safely stop themselves
if a driver becomes distracted or incapacitated, and doesn’t touch the controls
for several minutes.

A Virgin Trains spokesperson refused to discuss the
incident that happened earlier this week.

“In order to properly observe due process, Virgin
Trains is not able to comment on suggestions that disciplinary action may be
pending against staff,” he said. (ANI)
