At PMQs on Wednesday (14-12-2016) I asked the Prime Minister about the politically motivated industrial action being taken by ASLEF which is causing untold misery for my constituents.
Across Sussex thousands of people are unable to get to work, to school or to college because ASLEF objects to their drivers on Southern operating the doors. Yet today, ASLEF drivers will be driving Thameslink trains on the same rails, operating the doors on the London to Brighton line.
I asked Prime Minister whether she could give her assurance that everything was being done at the ACAS talks today to end this nonsense of a strike, address any residual safety issues and give my constituents their lives back.
