The Prime Minister has backed Argus calls for a train firm to review its compensation scheme after our exclusive stories highlighted the plight of Brighton to London commuters.
Today's Prime Minister's Questions (PMQ) event in Parliament saw Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, Caroline Lucas, ask David Cameron directly whether he supported calls for change to the rail passenger compensation system.
Ms Lucas said: "The Brighton Argus revealed that in the space of a single month, nearly 1,700 trains between Brighton and London Victoria ran late. But to add insult to injury, unfair train company rules meant passengers could claim compensation on just 59 of those 1,700 journeys.
"Will the Prime Minister join me in backing The Argus newspaper campaign for a fairer compensation system that puts money back into passengers' pockets?"
The PM responded: "She's right to raise the case of rail compenastion and we are looking closely at The Argus campaign to see what can be done to make it simplier and easier to deliver for people."
Ms Lucas previously told The Argus that Brighton residents were "fed up with unreliable, overcrowded and over-priced trains".
She said: "Longer term, we need to fix the fragmentation of our railway system through bringing rail back into public ownership."
