Owing to other enquiries, a 38-year-old man from Fife was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault in connection with the incident and was later released without charge.

DC Donna Davanna, from British Transport Police (BTP), said: “This incident was reported to us several hours after it took place, meaning we were unable to attend to take any details from the alleged victim or her friend.

“Other enquiries led to the arrest of a man, however we could really do with hearing from these two women so we can establish exactly what has happened.

“I’d urge them, or anyone who knows who they might be, to come forward.”
