The alleged attack occurred just before 11pm on June 6, when a group of buskers boarded the eastbound service.
Two men from the group are said to have sexually assaulted the woman before the train reached the next stop.
The suspects then got off the train at Stratford station, British Transport Police (BTP) said.
The force has since released CCTV of two men they wish to speak to in connection with the alleged attack.
BTP said: “At just before 11pm on Saturday 6 June, a group of buskers boarded an eastbound service at Whitechapel station.
“During the journey, two men from the group sexually assaulted a woman.
“They then got off the train at the next stop – Stratford station
“Detectives believe the men in the images may have information that will assist their ongoing investigation.”
The force has urged anyone who recognises the men, or who witnessed the alleged assault, to come forward.
They can contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 860 of June 6.
It comes days after cops released a CCTV image in the hunt for a man following an alleged sexual assault in a sex shop.
An investigation was launched after the victim was reportedly targeted at the Simply Pleasure Adult Store in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
The alleged assault is said to have occurred between 7.30pm and 8pm on March 23.
West Yorkshire Police has urged anyone with information or who recognises the man to come forward.
