In response to a new package of measures announced by the Government to help improve resilience of the Southern network, Louise Ellman, Chair of the Transport Select Committee, commented:

“I welcome today’s news that the Government is taking some action to tackle the crisis at Southern Railway.

“The passengers who use this line day in, day out are entitled to feel angry – the situation has been unacceptable for over a year now.

“Southern passengers deserve a rapid improvement in their service. The Transport Committee will continue to monitor the situation to see if this brings any real change.”
