The group behind plans for a second Brighton to London rail link is set to meet with Transport Secretary Chris Grayling later today (Monday).

The meeting, which has been arranged by Lewes MP Maria Caulfield and Brighton Kemptown MP Simon Kirby, will see Mr Grayling meet with members of the Brighton Mainline 2 (BML2) consortium to discuss the project.

The consortium, which is made up of developers and investors, says the project would ease pressure on the current mainline and provide an alternative route when track-related problems occur.
