Police officers are searching for three young men they would like to speak to after two schoolgirls were racially abused on a train.
The incident happened on board the 4.07pm London Midland service travelling between St Albans Abbey and Watford Junction on October 12.
At approximately 4.20pm, four young boys were causing a disturbance on board the train. Two of the boys then approached two young school girls and started talking with them.
