BRITISH transport police officers have released a CCTV picture of a woman they want to speak to following an incident on a train between Ulverston and Roose.
Just after 6pm on Friday January 10, a woman boarded the Lancaster to Barrow-in-Furness service at Ulverston.
BTP say that when she was approached by the conductor and asked to show a ticket she became aggressive and verbally abusive.
PC Gez Cooper said: “The conductor was simply trying to do his job and had done nothing to provoke the abuse he received.
“The woman left the train at Roose, but I believe she intended to travel on to Barrow.”
Following the incident, officers studied CCTV and have managed to isolate the image of a woman they believe will have key information about the incident.
PC Cooper added: “I urge anyone who recognises the woman, or who has information about the incident, to come forward.”
If you can help please call British transport police on 0800 40 50 40, or ring Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
In all calls please quote log NWA/B3 of 20/2/14.
