PETER Kyle did wonderfully well to get bosses from Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) to come and face the music.

And all credit to chief operating officer Dyan Crowther for coming to the city to speak to the long suffering commuters.

That said Southern and GTR as a whole, for all its effort now, remains the person at the party that was not invited.

They promised they were bringing the food and the great music but it has all gone flat.

Their continued role running the franchise is the same as if Roy Hodgson had remained in charge of the English football team after the debacle at the Euro 2016 football championship in France.

We will continue to question them and call for improvements, here at The Argus, and no doubt the likes of Peter Kyle, Caroline Lucas and other MPs will call for action.

For that is desperately needed.

Tomorrow GTR will face the music at Parliament.

And though they may not face the emotion that they did at All Saints Church in Hove, lets hope that the meeting is meaningful and pulls apart the contractual agreement that has led to this mess.

Mr Kyle was right to repeatedly question GTR over it. For here at the heart of the issue lies the problem.

When passengers get an awful service GTR does not have to hand over the cash, the Government does. And the Government gets the revenue, hence no pressure for GTR to increase customer satisfaction. Good job because that is always on the floor. But why should they care?
