Southern’s season ticket holders could be owed compensation due to the franchise’s poor service last year.
The one-off scheme was launched solely for the rail company’s passengers by the Department of Transport in December following a series of strikes and disruptions in 2016.

Customers can claim compensation as long as they held at least 12 weeks’ worth of season tickets between April 1 and December 31, last year.
Southern’s passenger services director, Angie Doll, said: "We have spent the last few weeks contacting all the passengers who we know qualify and have details for.
"We’re now inviting anyone we have missed or who believes they may be entitled to compensation to come forward and claim.
"Last year was very difficult for Southern passengers and I am glad this scheme recognises this. I would urge season ticket holders to go online and claim if they believe they are eligible for compensation."
If you feel you are owed compensation visit southernrailway.com and provide evidence for your claim.
The scheme will close on April 30, 2017.
