Workers on Southern trains are to stage another 48-hour strike on 7 and 8 September in the continuing dispute over the role of guards.

The RMT’s fighting plans by Southern owner Govia Thameslink (GTR) to turn conductors into “on-board supervisors”, with drivers taking over responsibility for opening and closing carriage doors.

Services have been disrupted for months due to industrial action which Southern said was “unnecessary, unjustified and futile”

Staff shortages, blamed by the company on high levels of sickness absence, have also resulted in delays and cancellations to trains.

Changes to the role of guards were imposed by the company from Sunday.

Police are looking for a man named Sunil Safi who has not been seen since he left the address where he was living in Crawley on Sunday afternoon (14 August).

Sunil is described as 17, 5’6″, and slim with dark brown curly shoulder length hair, and he took all his belongings with him. He comes from Afghanistan and speaks little English.

There’s concern from Sunil’s welfare as he does not know Britain and has a poor command of English.

If you have seen him, or know where he is, please contact the police via 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call 101, quoting serial 4 of 15/08.

A 48-year-old man from Redhill has been sentenced to four years and nine months in jail after he was discovered covertly taking photographs up the skirts of female shoppers in Redhill.

Trevor Beasley had previously been expressly banned from this behaviour by a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

The breach was brought to light by an eagle eyed PCSO who spotted him acting suspiciously in the town centre and gave chase when the offender threw a filming device under a car and ran off.

Beasley admitted his activity, known as ‘upskirting’, which began again just days after his previous sentence for seven counts of making and possession of indecent images of children and one count of outraging public decency.
