Angry commuters will stage a protest over weeks of disruption at the hands of Southern Rail.

Walkouts and problems with staffing have caused headaches for people using the Brighton mainline route into London.

Southern say the problems are the result of union members calling in sick, but the RMT claims it is down to poor management and not having enough staff.

The demonstration is being held on the platform of Brighton station at 6.30pm today.
