Harry Burgess, 25, was travelling with a group when he exposed himself to other passengers and relieved himself as the train service made its way to New Eltham station.
At Bromley Magistrates Court he received twenty-four weeks imprisonment and was made subject to a five-year sexual harm prevention order.
He pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault and one count of assault.
The court heard Burgess was travelling through south-east London on April 4 and after his initial disgusting act threw a seat cover into the face of a male passenger.
Shortly afterwards at New Eltham railway station, Burgess sexually assaulted a woman as she boarded the service.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Matt Smart said: "Burgess’ loutish and crude behaviour was humiliating and intimidating for the woman he singled out.
“He is now serving time behind bars for his pathetic attempts to impress the friends he was travelling with.
“Sexual assault and violence of any kind is no joke as Burgess can now testify.
“We take all reports of sexual harassment and unwanted sexual behaviour seriously and will support victims throughout our investigations.
“If you are a victim of, or a witness to, a sexual offence on the railway - I urge you to report it to us by texting 61016 or via the Railway Guardian app. We will always take you seriously."
