“She was distressed and had taken the wrong train from Southampton.
“We offered to sit with her on the way home and just had a chat and shared our Mini Eggs and cappucino sachets.
“She told me she had been visiting her sister who had been ill and were sitting together when her sister died.

The woman’s family tracked Kayleigh and Shelley down through Facebook and visited the salon to present them with prosecco and chocolates.
Kayleigh added: “I couldn’t believe the reaction on Facebook, with people saying we’d done something great. To me it’s just normal, what anyone would do. But it was nice to hear from the family and our new friend is welcome into the salon for one of our cappucinos any time.”
