Overview
- BTP has published CCTV stills in three separate investigations covering a late‑night slapping on a Preston service, an alleged upskirting at Tottenham Court Road, and a reported sexual assault on a train running from London Victoria toward Tulse Hill.
- Officers say anyone who recognises the people pictured should contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 or give information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, with case reference numbers provided in each appeal.
- There have been no public reports of arrests linked to these recent image releases and police describe the enquiries as active and developing.
- The appeals are issued against a broader backdrop of rising sex‑based offences on London transport, with official figures and a London Assembly report showing higher recorded incidents in recent years and a low proportion of cases leading to charges.
- Reports and police statements note that passenger intervention and CCTV can help identify suspects but that CCTV and ticketing data do not always produce suspects, which is why investigators are urging witnesses to come forward.
