Commuters using Southern Rail are planning a plan rush-hour protest at Victoria amid talk of fare strikes.

Protests are set to be ramped up this week as Southern’s operator, Govia Thameslink Railway, introduces a month-long emergency timetable, cutting 341 trains daily.

Commuters are threatening a “fares strike” against Southern after the government said they would have to endure another two years of disruption, according to a report in the Sunday Times (£).
