Officers are investigating after a child was sexually assaulted on a train from Balloch to Airdrie last week.
It happened on the 10.08am service between Balloch and Airdrie on Tuesday July 25.
At around 10.20am on Tuesday 25 July, the 12-year-old victim was travelling with her mother and sister when she was sexually assaulted by a man.
The man was described to be white, of medium build and average height, with short greyish hair and wearing a black face mask that partially covered his face.
He was wearing a black hooded jacket, black bottoms with a red stripe down the leg, and black Nike trainers. He was carrying a black bin liner and a black rucksack.
He is believed to have boarded the train at Dumbarton Central and got off at Old Kilpatrick Station.
