Sexual offences up 16% on British railways
British Transport Police recorded 61,159 crimes in 2017-18 in England, Scotland and Wales, up from 52,235.
Sexual offences rose by 16% to 2,472 and violent crime by 26% to 11,711.
The End Violence Against Women Coalition said a rise in the number of women reporting sexual violence was partly because of the #MeToo movement.
It added that there have also been initiatives to encourage reporting over the past few years.
The #MeToo campaign has encouraged women globally to speak out about sexual harassment and abuse.
