iStockPolice are appealing for witnesses after a woman was sexually assaulted on a train between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The incident occurred on January 13 between 4.15pm and 5pm on a train between Glasgow Queen Street and Haymarket stations.
British Transport Police (BTP) say a male passenger sat beside a female passenger and repeatedly touched her leg with his leg.

When the train arrived at Linlithgow, the woman got up and changed seats and later got off at Haymarket while the man stayed on the train.
