The men, believed to be aged between 17 and 25, followed the 19-year-old as she got off the 18:29 Dunblane to Edinburgh Waverley train.

Both men made indecent comments to her, with one of the men spitting on her as she made her way out of the station.

The woman was left “extremely upset”.

British Transport Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
