An agreement with the train drivers' union on pay and working conditions has been welcomed by the company that runs Southern.
The executive of train drivers’ union Aslef agreed a proposed package for drivers on Southern Railway and Gatwick Express, Nick Brown, chief operating officer of Govia Thameslink Railway, has said.
He added: “We welcome the Aslef executive’s endorsement of the proposals we have negotiated to resolve the dispute.
“We have concluded negotiations on pay, productivity and Driver Only Operation in a package that will now be put to a referendum of Aslef members.”
