The pay dispute affecting thousands of Brighton and Hove commuters is unlikely to be resolved this week.
First Capital Connect – the train company that operates Thameslink services – held a fourth round of pay talks with the rail union ASLEF on Wednesday (25 November).
But ASLEF rep Mick Whelan is not expected to put the offer to the union’s executive committee until next Monday (7 December).
Two days later the union is due to announce the result of a strike ballot.
In the meantime, passengers are enduring a reduced timetable as drivers refuse to work on rest days and do voluntary overtime.
Compensation claims for delays of 30 minutes or more can be made within 28 days of travelling via the First Capital Connect website. Click here for a link.
The company said that it would run eight carriages on all services to maximise capacity during the dispute – and second class customers would be able to use first class.
