Commuters are set to face travel disruption as RMT members plan to walk out over safety concerns.
Conductors will walk out for 24 hours tomorrow (Monday, March 13) in the ongoing dispute over the introduction of driverless trains.
A Southern spokeswoman said: “We're aiming to run as full a service as possible next Monday for our passengers.
"We've made it clear to the RMT that we won't meet with them whilst they persist with wholly unnecessary industrial action."
In response Mick Cash, RMT general secretary, said the company were ‘spinning lies’ about the impact of the action.
He said: “RMT repeats again today the call for genuine and serious talks that cut through the barrage of spin and hype from the company and which set for a framework for a safe and sustainable solution to Britain’s longest-running industrial dispute.”
