An inquest heard how Stephanie died from stab wounds to the heart and aorta.
Sussex Police were called to the station at around 7.10am following reports of an altercation between a man and a woman.
The court was told Stephanie was discovered unconscious with stab wounds.

“We are devastated that her young life has been ended in this way. She had her whole life ahead of her.
