Rail issues continue in Sussex due to crew shortages

Many Sussex commuters are being delayed this morning (Thursday, June 16) due to a '˜high level' of conductor sickness on Southern Railway services.

Several routes across the county are affected by the crew shortages with some services being cancelled for part or all of their journey.

Commuters are being advised to check departure boards and consider using the bus.
