A perverted pensioner has been banned from using trains after he was caught committing an indecent act while looking at a sleeping passenger.

His hand was moving under a newspaper on his lap as he looked at a sleeping female passenger in a nearby seat. Gilbert was arrested when the LNER train stopped at Newcastle Central Station.
