A new three-day strike by staff on Southern rail got underway yesterday, with hundreds of trains in Sussex and Surrey cancelled.
The action’s over plans for drivers, rather than conductors, to operate carriage doors at certain times.
It’s due to last until Friday morning, with a further three blocks of strikes planned before Christmas.
The RMT has said the rail company’s plans put passenger safety at risk. Southern has urged the union to “move forward”.
The rail company said it plans to run over 60% of its normal timetable during the strike.
