Lee Spokes has sent us this message on Facebook, external over the Transport Secretary's remarks:
Quote MessageAs someone who has commuted from Seaford - Lewes, I can only say that Chris Grayling's comments today are an insult. This strike is totally necessary, just not quite for the reasons given.
Quote MessageSouthern need to be removed of the franchise immediately - they have acknowledged that they did not have the staff when they won the franchise, have failed to retain / recruit the staff needed, and have alienated the operational staff needed to run services safely in the interest of a 'cheaper' service, when costs have risen year on year above inflation."
