Women racially abused on Edinburgh to Glasgow train

Officers are trying to identify two women wearing burqas who were subjected to racist abuse on board a train.

The pair had been on a carriage with four children travelling between Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Queen Street when the incident happened.

Another passenger then began to use racist language to verbally abuse the women, who then moved to a different part of the train.

The incident happened at around 7.25pm on August 2 and officers would now like to speak with the victims.

Anyone with information which could help to identify the victims has been urged to call British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40, or text 61016, quoting reference number 1700053106
