Ms Bladon's family said the student, from from Burton-upon-Trent, had been taking part in an archaeological dig that morning and described her as a "talented musician" and "enthusiastic rugby player".
The train was busy at the time of the attack as Christians marked Good Friday and Jews celebrated Passover.
