On Friday, detectives investigating the incidents on board Thameslink trains between Sussex, Kent and Bedford released CCTV images of a man they would like to speak with.

The three incidents happened during the summer, police said. The first was on a train between Blackfriars and Horley Times station, the second on a train between East Croydon and Bedford, and the third incident happened on a Bromley South to Otford Time train.
