Mansoor Ahmed, 30, was jailed for 26 months and placed on the sex offenders register.
On September 6, 2020 the first victim walked up the stairs at Gloucester Road Underground Station when she was sexually assaulted by Ahmed.
The victim screamed and Ahmed ran from the scene, and she reported it the following day.
Following an appeal to the public Ahmed was identified and circulated as wanted for questioning.
On November 20, 2020 a second woman was sexually assaulted by Ahmed while she walked down the steps at Charing Cross Station.
Ahmed then walked away, however the victim spotted to British Transport Police officers at the station and reported the incident to them.
Ahmed was subsequently detained and arrested at the station and later released under investigation while enquiries continued.
The two incidents were linked and attempts were made to locate Ahmed, however his whereabouts were unknown.
On May 27, 2021 Ahmed was located on board a ferry arriving at Holyhead from Ireland and was arrested at the scene.
Ahmed, of Stephenson Street, Riverside, Cardiff admitted two counts of sexual assault and was sentenced at Cardiff Crown Court.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant David Weatherhead said: “Ahmed’s behaviour was absolutely disgusting and there is zero tolerance for this on the rail network.
“I would like to thank the two victims for their courage in coming forward and reporting this offence.”
