​Response to latest RMT strike date

In response to the RMT announcement of a 24-hour conductors' strike next Wednesday, 22 February, Nick Brown, Chief Operating Officer of Govia Thameslink Railway, Southern's parent company, said:

"We are disappointed that the RMT is going to heap yet further misery and disruption on the travelling public. We aim to run as full a service as we can."

For guidance, during the last conductor strike, on 23 January, Southern ran around three-quarters of its normal service.
