General Secretary Mick Cash said;
"Our guards on Southern Rail are taking up the fight for rail safety again today and the union salutes their incredible solidarity and determination after months of attacks from the employer and the Government.
"This dispute was about safety from day one and it still it. It is about local rail workers fighting for safe rail services for their local communities. Their resilience is extraordinary.
