Passengers on Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern services have suffered the worst rail disruption in the UK, according to a highly critical report.

The National Audit Office (NAO) said the UK's largest rail franchise had not provided value for money.

It found the services had been the "worst on the network" since Govia Thameslink (GTR) took over the routes.

The Department for Transport (DfT) said industrial action had caused a shortage of train crews.

It is being blamed for not ensuring adequate staffing before awarding the franchise.

Government spending watchdog the NAO said GTR had too few drivers when it was awarded the Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern franchise.

It added that since GTR started operating the full franchise in July 2015, 7.7% of services - about 146,000 services - had either been cancelled or delayed by more than 30 minutes, compared with 2.8% on the rest of the network.

Of these, more than one third were caused by train crew shortages.

A Sussex MP has once more raised the case of the Shoreham air crash victims and their families at a parliamentary debate.

A Hawker Hunter jet crashed on the A27 in Shoreham, West Sussex, on 22 August 2015, killing 11 men.

Their families have been denied legal aid.

Speaking at Westminster Hall, East Worthing and Shoreham Conservative MP Tim Loughton said: "It defies logic why in this exceptional case, they have not qualified for exceptional cases funding."

At the inquest into their deaths, the victims' families are likely to be the only parties not legally represented which Mr Loughton said was an "inequality of arms" which could "undermine the inquest's ability to serve the public interest".

A pre-inquest review into the deaths of 11 men at the Shoreham airshow disaster has been postponed.

The inquest was due to take place on Wednesday 24 January but has now been rescheduled for Monday 26 March.

The men were all killed when a Hawker Hunter jet crashed during a display at the Shoreham Airshow on 22 August 2015.

According to Senior Coroner Penelope Schofield, the Crown Prosecution Service said a decision on whether or not the pilot of the aircraft would be charged, would not be made in time for the start of the review.

Pilot Andy Hill, who was carrying out an aerobatic manoeuvre at the time, was among 13 others who were injured.
