BBC said:Labour leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn has said he would consider women-only rail carriages to help stem a rise in assaults on public transport.
Mr Corbyn says he will consult women on the suggestion.
The Independent says he will also call for a 24-hour hotline for reporting harassment and assault.
It comes after British Transport Police (BTP) figures suggested sex offences on trains and at stations had risen by 25% to record levels.
Mr Corbyn said: "My intention would be to make public transport safer for everyone from the train platform, to the bus stop to on the mode of transport itself.
"However, I would consult with women and open it up to hear their views on whether women-only carriages would be welcome - and also if piloting this at times and [on] modes of transport where harassment is reported most frequently would be of interest."
