    Drivers on Southern Railway are to start voting on whether to accept a proposed deal to end their dispute.

    Ballot papers are being sent to members of the train drivers' union Aslef, with a recommendation to accept after drivers rejected two previous attempts to reach an agreement.

    The proposal is for a 28% pay rise and an agreement that trains will have a second, safety-trained person on board, apart from "exceptional circumstances".

    The ballot result will be announced on 8 November.

    The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) remains in dispute with Southern over the role of guards.
