Commuters are furious after being left stranded on their way to work.

Signalling problems yesterday left hundreds of passengers on the Brighton to London trains late for work and missing appointments.

Trains were cancelled, delayed and re-routed for hours until the problems were resolved.

The disruption came a day after The Argus relaunched its Save Our Service campaign.

An electronic fault with signal failures at Salfords, near Gatwick Airport, was reported at about 4.15am yesterday.

Those who were delayed can claim up to 50% of the cost of the journey back.

More than 11,000 people have signed up to The Argus’ Save Our Service campaign to demand more from their train company.
