While many commuters giggling at the unexpected X-rated broadcast, many were confused as to what is going on.
In view of the situation, a South Western Railway employee had accessed the X-rated material unaware that the microphone was live. And passengers of the train had a great laugh at the accidental broadcast.
Social media had a great laugh reacting to the video. Some even shared hilarious comments, memes, and GIFs.
Here are some of them:

I bet he wanted the ground to just open up and swallow him. Fortunately that's pretty much how the tube works anyway. https://t.co/GitKkht06X
