Melissa Wood, 27, and Christopher Linley, 34, jumped in front of a train while hugging
The couple were seen hugging as they leapt to their deaths from platform one on Tuesday night.
While paramedics fought to save their lives, the pair sadly passed away at the scene.
The couple’s Facebook profiles showed the pair blissfully in love and extremely happy.
In a post from March last year, Melissa tagged Chris in a post saying she was "feeling proud", adding: "I have never been so happy in my entire life, love my home and I have the best guy ever and a massive tub of chocolate loving life always.
"Be happy and do whatever you want f**k whatever anyone else thinks xxx"
In response Chris wrote: "My happiness is easily explained.
"I have finally found the one person on the face of the planet who is as cool, relaxed and totally into happiness as me."
Melissa's family said her death had left a "huge gap in the hearts of all" and her mum said she wanted to thank everyone who had may have tried to help her daughter.
A British Transport Police spokesman said: "At 6.46pm, a man and woman were seen on CCTV arriving at the station.

"Officers would like to speak to anyone who was at the station and saw the two people beforehand, or saw the incident, and hasn't spoken to police yet.
"The incident is not being treated as suspicious but officers would like to establish their movements that evening.
"Officers and paramedics were quickly on scene, however a man and woman were sadly pronounced dead at the scene."
An investigation has been opening into the tragedy and police have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
