Strike Affected Southern Rail Passengers To Get More Compensation

Passengers affected by a series of strikes on the Southern rail network have been promised more generous compensation by the Prime Minister.

The RMT union has staged walkouts over the introduction of driver-only-operated trains and a change in conductors’ roles.

David Cameron said he condemned any action that impinged on journeys.

He made his comments during Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday (Wed 29 June) in reply to Horsham Conservative MP Jeremy Quin.

After commuters staged protests over continuing disruption and calls were made for the franchise to end, Southern said it was operating under difficult circumstances.
