West Sussex MPs have piled on the pressure ahead of a meeting on Monday (January 18) between Southern Railway and around 20 MPs representing many thousands of people who use the service.

As reported by this paper in December, Arundel and South Downs MP Nick Herbert said passengers had ‘reached the end of their tether’ with rail companies Southern - which runs services between Sussex and Portsmouth and on to the west of England - and Thameslink.

He said MPs were ‘unwilling to hear any more excuses or false promises that the service will get better’.
