Southern services between Brighton and Southampton Central are being cancelled due to a shortage of train crews.

Chief Operating Officer Dyan Crowther said: “We are extremely disappointed and frustrated that, due to an unusually high level of sickness among some of our conductors and some others not working their normal rest days, we are unable to run the full service between Southampton and Brighton.”
Two other walk-outs have been planned in May.
