The main suspect is described as white, aged between 20 and 25, 5ft 6ins tall, with black, shoulder-length dyed hair.
Her friend was wearing a khaki jacket, short skirt, black tights and boots. She was seen smoking.

Police described both of the robbers as aged in their early 20s.
Detective Constable Paula Eustace, of British Transport Police (BTP), said the woman was rescued by a railway employee who heard her shouts for help.
