Police are hunting a suspect after he allegedly sexually assaulted a train worker on a Virgin Train travelling from Stoke-on-Trent to Manchester Piccadilly.
The suspect approached the female train crew member when she was in the staff-only area at the front of the train.
She advised him that the toilets were on the other side of the coach but was then sexually assaulted by him, British Transport Police said.
Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incident.
