Police are hunting a group of yobs who racially abused fellow rail passengers.
The incident happened on board a train between Preston and Blackpool North, shortly after 8pm on Saturday February 23.
PC Peter Wilcock of British Transport Police said: “A group of Asian passengers were on-board the train when they were targeted by a second group of white men.
“The men, who seemed to have been drinking, became verbally abusive and directed sustained racist abuse at the other passengers telling them ‘Go back to your own country’.
“This type of behaviour is totally unacceptable and left the victims and other passengers feeling extremely distressed, upset and uncomfortable.
“Anti-social, racist or violent behaviour has no place on the railway and we should all feel able to use the network without fear of becoming a victim of crime.
“I am determined to trace those responsible and bring them to justice.”
