It's been a frustrating morning for many commuters across the South East as the Southern rail 24-hour conductors' strike entered its final hours.

Here's what some of you had to say on twitter.

Commuter Paul Barker,of Rye, told BBC Sussex how the conductors' strike affected his daily commute to London.

He said he worked from home on Tuesday but went to Robertsbridge to catch a Southeastern service on Wednesday.

"You can not take two days off at work but it was standing room only from Frant," he added.

As the 24-hour strike draws to a close, Southern rail have released details of how passengers affected by the action can claim compensation.

RMT general secretary Mick Cash says union members are standing firm as the strike over changes to the role of Southern rail conductors enters its final stages.

 "Our guards members on Southern are solid and united on the second day of action and the union welcomes the support from the travelling public as they recognise that this dispute is about defending safety critical jobs and services against the drive for cash-driven cuts that would see those services hacked to ribbons.   

"All of those cuts plans are driven by one factor and that is the over-arching demand from Southern to max up their financial returns."

Operator Govia Thameslink Railway says there will be no job losses or cuts in salary and the changes will make staff more visible.  

An amended timetable is in place today because of the walk out by conductors.

Southern rail tweeted, external a picture of their strike route map to remind people to check ahead before travelling. 

The industrial action is due to end at 11:00 BST but Southern have warned of disruption to services until 18:30 BST.

The 24-hour-strike by Southern rail conductors is due to end at 11:00 BST - but how has it affected your journey?

This is what some passengers at Brighton station had to say about the impact of the industrial action.

Dyan Crowther, chief operating officer of Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), told Neil Pringle on BBC Sussex she "was very pleased to hear" that the RMT union was going to attend talks aimed at halting the strike action.

The action by conductors is in protest at the introduction of more driver-only trains and a planned change to their role.

Mick Cash, of the RMT union, said the dispute was about safety but GTR, which operates Southern rail, said the new system would be perfectly safe.

Neil Pringle will be speaking to Dyan Crowther, chief operating officer of Govia Thameslink which runs Southern rail, on the BBC Sussex Breakfast Show at 08:40 BST.

You can listen here.
