A RAILWAY man who allegedly held drink-fuelled sex orgies in a signal box at Hereford Station has been suspended.
An investigation by the News of the World newspaper claims Philip Davies took part in group sex marathons in between pulling the levers controlling inter-city links to London, Manchester and Cardiff. The report alleges Mr Davies advertised his sideline services in a 'seedy' newspaper.
The News of the World claims its team of reporters watched as Mr Davies led a couple through the station car park and a track side gate marked: "Passengers must not cross the line. Do not trespass on the railway. Fine £200."
Investigation
According to railway experts commenting on the alleged incidents, a moment's distraction could easily lead to the horror of two packed commuter trains crashing into each other.
They claim by pulling levers, Mr Davies is responsible for routing trains through the correct platforms and signalling to drivers when it is safe to proceed.
In the day, three passenger trains an hour stop at Hereford station plus another dozen freight trains.
The last train at night arrives at 1.30am but services start again after a four-hour gap.
A spokesman for Railtrack, said: "We condemn this kind of behaviour on duty. An urgent investigation has started.
"We can confirm that Mr Davies has been suspended."
