A RAIL signaller was awarded almost £140,000 following “extreme sexism” by male colleagues, including them watching pornography at work.
Rowena Owens sued for discrimination, complaining about at least 16 workers at their signals centre.
A tribunal heard she was asked about oral sex and had to put up with images of topless women in the office, while staff watched X-rated films and one waved a sex toy at her.
After a five-year legal battle she has won damages totalling £138,012.

The Croydon hearing was told there were at least 25 incidents of sex discrimination at the Network Rail signal centre in Wimbledon.
