Championship side Bristol City came from behind to beat Premier League Watford in the EFL Cup second round.

Watford's Etienne Capoue scored early in the second half, but Freddie Hinds and Bobby Reid responded for City.
Hornets defender Jose Holebas was sent off in the 88th minute before Niclas Eliasson increased the visitors' lead in stoppage time.
Adrian Mariappa scored a 95th-minute consolation as Watford fell to their first defeat under boss Marco Silva.
The Portuguese made six changes to his side after their league win over Bournemouth on Saturday, while City manager Lee Johnson made nine.
The Watford side was still strong with summer signing Will Hughes handed his debut and Troy Deeney making his first start of the season.
After falling behind, City responded excellently through 18-year-old Hinds' superb strike from distance and Reid's goal eight minutes later.
Brazilian Richarlison hit a post for Watford before Holebas received a second yellow card for a trip on Eliasson.
Eliasson netted a breakaway goal to put the game beyond Watford.

Scientists at Cardiff University are to lead a £16m project to detect, treat and prevent dementia.

They will head up the UK Dementias Research Platform (UKDP), a public-private partnership to speed up research into the condition.
The funding is being announced at an international summit about the illness in London on Thursday.
About 45,000 people suffer from the condition in Wales and about 800,000 in the UK.
The UKDP brings together industry expertise and investigating teams from eight UK universities.
Their work will create one of the world's largest ever study groups for research into dementia, with more than two million people said to be taking part.
The research will investigate the causes of dementia across a range of different neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and motor neurone disease.
Dr John Gallacher, from Cardiff University's School of Medicine and director of UKDP, said: "We now know that neurodegeneration can be linked to changes taking place in parts of the body seemingly unrelated to the brain and many years before dementia is diagnosed.
"For example, inflammation or infection in a completely different organ may be related to the development of dementia or to accelerating the onset in people with the disease.
"So it's imperative that we look at the different stages of disease development: people who are yet to develop dementia, those who are known to be at risk of developing it, and those who are already in the early stages of the disease.
"By looking at the links between development of the disease and other factors - such as diet or illness - we hope to unearth targets for new drugs or new uses for existing drugs."
Hosting the London dementia summit, Prime Minister David Cameron will call for a "big, bold global push" on dementia.
Experts and health officials from other G7 countries are expected to attend.
Thursday's event in London comes six months after the UK hosted a summit where leading nations committed to developing a cure or treatment for dementia by 2025.
The UK government's Science Minister David Willetts said: "This new £16m UK Dementia Platform will create the world's largest ever study group for research into dementia, ensuring that data is freely available to support the work of international scientists in this very important area."


Wales captain Sam Warburton is expected to be fit enough to play against world champions New Zealand on 11 June.

Warburton, 27, has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since 30 April and missed Sunday's 27-13 loss to England.
Prop Paul James will miss the first Test match in Auckland with a calf injury, but coach Warren Gatland hopes he will face the Chiefs on 14 June.
Second rower Alun Wyn Jones is in line to win his 100th cap for Wales in the game at Eden Park.
Wales have not beaten the All Blacks in 26 matches since 1953.
The match will be New Zealand's first since beating Australia 34-17 in the 2015 World Cup final.
Lock Luke Charteris will join up with the Wales squad on Saturday after being released by French side Racing 92.
Charteris and Clermont Auvergne centre Jonathan Davies both missed the defeat at Twickenham because they were on club duty, though Davies has already joined the Wales camp in New Zealand.
Hooker Ken Owens will also be ready for the game after overcoming a back problem, but blindside flanker Dan Lydiate has been ruled out of the tour because of a shoulder injury.
He has been replaced by Cardiff Blues open-side Ellis Jenkins, who is 23 and uncapped.
Gatland described Jenkins, a former captain of Wales Under-20s, as a "young, exciting player" with "pedigree".
He added: "He is a real intelligent rugby player, he's had a very good season, so it's nice for him to have the opportunity to come out here and hopefully gain some experience and maybe get some game time, too.
"If he's not involved in that first game, then hopefully he will get a chance at Hamilton against the Chiefs."
New Zealand lock Sam Whitelock is a doubt for the first Test as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
The All Blacks are already without experienced campaigners Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith who have quit international rugby.


Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint have both won acting prizes at the WhatsOnStage awards.

Radcliffe was named best actor in a play for his role in Martin McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan, which opens on Broadway in April.
Grint took the newcomer of the year award for his West End debut in the revival of Jez Butterworth's Mojo.
The awards, voted for by the public, were handed out at a ceremony at London's Prince of Wales Theatre.
It is the second WhatsOnStage award for Radcliffe, who previously won Grint's prize in 2008 for his role in Equus.
"I am deeply honoured to receive this prestigious award and I accept it on behalf of the whole cast who together helped make this production... a truly joyous experience for me as an actor," Radcliffe said.
He also thanked Michael Grandage for his "inspirational direction".
The inaugural season of Grandage's new company was a big winner on the night, picking up four awards in total.
As well as Radcliffe's award, David Walliams won the best supporting actor prize for his role in A Midsummer Night's Dream, while the play itself won best Shakespearean production.
Grandage was also named best director for his five-play season.
The Book of Mormon was the other big winner, also collecting four awards and dominating the musical categories.
It beat competition from the likes of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Once to be crowned best new musical.
It also won three out of the four acting prizes, with Gavin Creel named best actor in a musical, Stephen Ashfield winning best supporting actor in a musical and Alexia Khadime best supporting actress in a musical.
Scarlett Strallen's role in A Chorus Line earned her the best actress in a musical honour. The production also won best ensemble performance.
Peter Morgan's The Audience picked up best new play with Dame Helen Mirren awarded best actress in a play for her role as the Queen.
Unable to attend the ceremony, Dame Helen said in a filmed acceptance speech: "I'm so thrilled to receive this. I'm honoured that it was voted for by the public, that's the most wonderful thing."
Haydn Gwynne also won best supporting actress in a play for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in Morgan's production.
Barry Humphries - better known for his alter ego, Dame Edna Everage - collected the best solo performance award for his Eat Pray Laugh! farewell tour at the London Palladium.
Matilda the Musical fought off strong competition from Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera, War Horse and Wicked to be voted best West End show.
The full list of winners across 27 categories can be found on the WhatsOnStage website.


Scottish Police Authority chairman Andrew Flanagan has refused to step down despite criticism of his management of the board.

Holyrood's committee has been investigating transparency at the top of the SPA, and has been strongly critical of Mr Flanagan's conduct.
He told MSPs that he acknowledged he had made mistakes, but said "now is not the time" for a change of leadership.
The Scottish Conservatives said Mr Flanagan's "time must surely be up".
Holyrood's public audit committee wrote to the justice secretary voicing "very serious concerns" about how the SPA is run, saying Mr Flanagan appeared to have "behaved inappropriately".
This followed a series of heated evidence sessions a the parliament, which saw SNP MSP Alex Neil tell police bosses that "it's not the Kremlin you're running", claiming there was a "secret society" within the group's board.
The Holyrood inquiry has been continuing alongside a separate probe by HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary  in Scotland Derek Penman into the governance of the SPA and concerns about transparency.
Appearing before the justice sub-committee on policing, Mr Flanagan said he had decided not to stand down.
He said: "I have reflected very seriously on the views expressed by parliamentarians and other stakeholders. In reflecting on the last two years, I believe there is more that I have got right than I have got wrong, on strategy, on clarity and control, on refreshed leadership for policing and on many other aspects.
"I acknowledge my recent mistakes, and you have rightly taken me to task for them. But I hope to be judged also on the significant progress achieved and the leadership potential I can still offer.
"Policing is in a much better position than it was, but there is still a huge amount to do. I believe now is not the time for yet another change of leadership in what will be a pivotal and challenging next three years for policing in Scotland.
"I have discussed this with my board and I have their unanimous support."
Much of the criticism of Mr Flanagan centred around a row with former board member Moi Ali, who resigned after clashing with the chairman over board meetings being held behind closed doors.
She told MSPs that she felt she had been bullied, describing her exit from the board as "a really horrendous experience" and saying Mr Flanagan was "not fit to continue on any public board".
The public audit committee said Mr Flanagan had acted in an "inappropriate matter", and said the "default position for such an important body is that its committees should meet in public".
Mr Flanagan told MSPs that he had written to Ms Ali to apologise, saying his approach was a matter of "bitter regret" and a "misjudgement". He said she had been "right in raising substantive concerns about transparency", adding: "I was wrong."
He subsequently confirmed he had sent the letter of apology on Tuesday - days after the critical report from the public audit committee - and Ms Ali posted on twitter that she had received it via email "only after I suggested legal action and issued an ultimatum".
Mr Flanagan said that in light of the committee's report:  "I have to accept that I was wrong."
MSPs were critical of Mr Flanagan during the meeting, with Stewart Stevenson referencing his own resignation as transport minister in 2010.
He said: "The biggest of people will always put the interests of the organisation of which they are part above their personal considerations should they be part of the decision-making. I simply invite you to take the same position as I took in 2010."
Scottish Conservative justice spokesman Douglas Ross said Mr Flanagan's time must "surely be up", adding: "Today's developments have done nothing to improve his reputation or restore confidence in the SPA."


Britons Kyle Edmund and Aljaz Bedene both made it through to the second round of the Italian Open in Rome with victories on Monday.

Edmund, 22, impressed on his debut at the Foro Italico with a 6-3 6-4 win over Portugal's Joao Sousa.
Qualifier Bedene, 27, was leading 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 3-0 when Italy's Gianluca Mager retired with an injury.
Defending champion Andy Murray will face Italy's Fabio Fognini in his opening match on Tuesday.
Edmund, ranked 53rd in the world, remained ahead in the battle to be British number two thanks to his victory over Sousa.
The Yorkshireman's big forehand was backed up by fine serving as he broke once in each set to see off the world number 51.
He will next face Juan Martin del Potro or Grigor Dimitrov.
Bedene, the world number 55, continued his fine form on the clay, following up his two qualifying wins to set up a second-round match with number two seed Novak Djokovic.
Murray faces a tough test in his opening match as he looks to find some form before the French Open later this month.
"Fognini is one of the better clay-court players," said the world number one.
"He obviously will be highly motivated playing in Italy as well.
"I have had some tough matches with him in the past, so it won't be easy. I will definitely need to play well in that one to have a chance of winning."
Murray turned 30 on Monday but is optimistic he can overcome his struggles with form and fitness this year and continue to challenge for the major titles.
"You never know how your body's going to be and your health," said the Scot.
"If that's fine, there is no reason why you can't compete at the top of the game into your early to mid-30s."


Thieves have stolen a ton of scrap brass worth thousands of pounds from a salvage yard in the south of Scotland.

The incident happened some time between 21:30 and midnight on Friday at Rosefield Salvage on the Irongray Road in Dumfries.
PC Keith Beattie, at Dumfries police office, said the metal would have taken "some manpower and time to shift".
Police want to hear from anyone who may have seen anything suspicious or any vehicles in the area.


The Isle of Wight's troubled new "floating bridge" service has been suspended on the orders of the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA).

The chain ferry broke down on Sunday, with stranded passengers forced to wade through water to the slipway.
The MCA said the suspension was due to "training issues".
Isle of Wight Council said "teething issues" were being dealt with. Its manufacturer said it was in "debugging mode" ahead of its official launch.
An MCA surveyor said: "We will be re-inspecting the vessel in due course, subject to these issues being rectified. We are confident that the company is working hard to bring the vessel into full service shortly."
More on this and other stories from across the South of England
Crowds gathered to watch the chain ferry begin operating on Saturday, replacing a vessel that had run between Cowes and East Cowes for 40 years.
However, cars struggled to embark and disembark without scraping their bumpers and the vessel broke down on Sunday morning.
A statement said the local authority was working with the MCA to resolve issues.
Sunday's breakdown was blamed on an electrical fault which has since been fixed.
"It had always been anticipated that, as with any new vehicle, there would be a period of time for staff and users to become used to its operation.
"We would encourage all vehicle users to drive slowly on to and off of the floating bridge," the council said.
The ferry briefly resumed operating on Monday morning, before stopping again at about 11:30 BST.
The managing director of Pembroke-based Mainstay Marine, Stewart Graves, said the new vessel was still in a "shakedown" period with engineering work and staff training continuing before the official handover next month.
"I'm sure we will hand over an excellent product which is reliable and meets the requirements of the council and residents."
A launch used to ferry foot passengers since the start of the year has been put back in action, while drivers once again face a 10-mile road diversion.
The vessel and slipway work has cost £4.6m, of which £3.8m came from the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership.


The 2014 winner Pineau De Re needs six late withdrawals to make the cut for Saturday's Grand National at Aintree.

A final order of elimination for the £1m race, which has a maximum of 40 runners, was announced on Tuesday.
Lower-rated horses are balloted out, with The Romford Pele currently occupying the number 40 slot.
As it stands Bishops Road (41), Knock House, Perfect Candidate and Maggio (44) will be the four reserves for the race, with Pineau De Re at 46.
The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has indicated it is open to reviewing the entry system ahead of next year's National.
Pineau De Re was 43rd on the list before revised ratings were applied on Tuesday.
Others in danger of missing out are Becher Chase winner Highland Lodge (47), Alvarado (48) - who has twice finished fourth in the National - and Cheltenham Festival winner Cause Of Causes (49), who was rated about 16-1 joint fifth favourite for the race .
"It's life, I'm afraid. It's like complaining about the weather. It's one of those things, there's nothing we can do about it," said Alvarado's trainer Fergal O'Brien.
Pineau De Re won the National two years ago under jockey Leighton Aspell, who also triumphed last year with Many Clouds for trainer Oliver Sherwood.
Pineau De Re is now in the twilight of his career at 13 - no horse of that age has won the National since Sergeant Murphy in 1923.
A spokesman for the British Horseracing Authority said the quality of Grand National contenders was improving, but it remained open to new ideas regarding entries.
"We are always open to innovative race planning ideas and would never rule any suggestions out before we have had a chance to consider any proposals fully," he said.

"The current entry and handicapping approach seems to be working well, with the race going from strength to strength and arguably in 2016 producing the strongest ever running of the race."
The National is a handicap chase, with the different weights each horse is required to carry announced by official handicapper Phil Smith in February, two months before the race itself.
"The idea was raised last year that trainers could incur an 'optional penalty' on any horse who won after the Grand National weights had been published in order to increase their chances of getting into the race," said a spokesman.
"It didn't meet with universal approval at this stage but it is something that we would like to revisit again for next year, in consultation with trainers and other stakeholders."
Many Clouds is 8-1 favourite to become the first horse since Red Rum in the 1970s to win consecutive runnings, and victory would make Aspell the first rider to triumph three years on the trot.
Other leading contenders include the two-time King George VI Chase winner Silviniaco Conti, for champion trainer Paul Nicholls.
Nine horses were withdrawn on Monday: Carlingford Lough, Third Intention, Roi Du Mee, Turban, Living Next Door, Spring Heeled, Katkeau, Golden Chieftain, Godsmejudge.


An NHS trust rated inadequate by a health watchdog has defended the appointment of its seventh boss in four years.

Peter Herring will take over from Karen Fisher at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on 19 November.
Last month, a report by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) found a number of "serious problems" which were "extremely concerning".
Chairman Sean Lyons said the trust now had the right person in place.
Mr Lyons said: "It's no secret that the best performing trusts have consistent and strong leadership.
"The chief executive position is an exceptionally challenging role in difficult circumstances, and sourcing right and credible leaders is a challenge for any NHS organisation.
"We believe we have found an exceptional interim CEO in Peter Herring."
Mr Lyons added that the CQC report was "shocking and a wake-up call for everybody", but said it was now about finding the "best in class" to deal with the issues and help move things forward.
The trust, which runs Kings Mill Hospital, Newark Hospital and Mansfield Community Hospital, was placed in special measures two years ago because of concerns about death rates and standards of care.
The chief executive brought in at the time - Paul O'Connor - left in April to pursue "alternative career options".
At the time of Mr O'Connor's appointment, the then interim trust chairman Chris Mellor said: "We need an experienced, permanent CEO who can provide the continuity of leadership and direction that, until recently, has been sadly lacking."


On the outside, the main building of Taiwan's Legislative Yuan - or parliament - is a picture of calm.

Two rows of neatly-trimmed shrubbery and trees line the courtyard leading to the stately-looking, white building with a Republic of China (Taiwan) flag on top.
But inside, the picture is very different.
In fact, while parliamentary brawls occur occasionally in other countries, Taiwan's Legislative Yuan is notorious for them.
Rowdy and sometimes violent scuffles occur as often as several times a year and even every few days or weeks.
Punching, hair pulling, throwing plastic bottles and water balloons, as well as splashing cups of water on the faces of rival party legislators are common scenes. Air-horns and filibustering - more like shouting - are also used to drown out one's opponents.
23 March 2004: A scuffle erupted between the ruling and opposition party members over vote recounts from the presidential election.
7 May 2004: Legislator Zhu Xingyu grabbed legislator William Lai and tried to wrestle him onto a desk and headbutt him, and jabbed him in the stomach, due to disagreements over legislative procedures.
26 October 2004: A food fight took place between the opposition and ruling party during a debate on a military hardware purchase ordinance.
30 May 2006: Then opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator Wang Shu-hui snatched a written proposal and shoved it into her mouth to prevent voting on allowing direct transportation links with Mainland China. Ruling party members tried to force her to cough it up by pulling her hair. She later spat it out but tore it up.
8 May 2007: Several members of the ruling DPP and opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party fought over control of the Speaker's podium, with some throwing punches and spraying water over an alleged delay of the annual budget. At least one person was admitted to hospital.
However this month's fights have become even uglier. Last Thursday, legislators lifted up and threw chairs at each other when they brawled over the ruling DPP's massive $29bn (Â£22bn) infrastructure spending bill, which the opposition (headed by the KMT) claims benefits cities and counties loyal to the DPP and is aimed at helping the party win forthcoming elections.
The fighting continued on Tuesday in a legislative committee meeting. The opposition KMT legislators wrestled DPP members to the floor and unplugged the cables of loud speakers to prevent the DPP from putting the bill through a committee review to move it towards passage into law.
Opposition parties, a minority in the 113-seat parliament, see physical fights as the only way to stop legislation they oppose, by blocking them from being voted on.
The standoffs can last for hours, even into the middle of the night. Legislators take turns eating or delay meals.
Many staff from local governments, ministries or government agencies have to be there, to see if legislation that affects them might pass, or to be on hand to answer questions in case there is actual discussion and debating, not just brawling.
These people find ways to put up with the chaotic scenes. Some cover their ears, others focus on their smartphones, and a few smart ones find the most comfortable couches in the back and manage to sleep through it all.
It's become a normal part of Taiwan's democracy - one of the most vibrant in the world.
But the fights shouldn't be taken too seriously, says a local journalist who covers parliament on a daily basis. He wished to be identified only by his first name.
"The legislators are partly acting - trying to show their constituents they're working hard to fight for their cause," said Danny.
However, he and other Taiwanese people say the brawls - with some broadcasted worldwide - are humiliating and do not advance democracy.
"The fights only allow the people to see the surface, not real issues. People often don't even understand the bills," said Danny.
He admitted that many journalists don't either. This current infrastructure bill is 10,000 pages long; it's impossible for them to read through all of it.
"If the legislators actually debate the contents of the bill instead of fight, the public might understand it better," said Danny. "I majored in politics in college. This is not what I had expected."


Annual profits at Dale Farm, Northern Ireland's largest milk processor, have fallen by about 50% to Â£3.5m.

Its parent group, United Dairy Farmers co-operative, said the reduction was due to depressed market returns, especially from milk powder exports.
This was "made worse by adverse exchange rates with the pound gathering strength versus the euro as the year progressed", it said.
The firm said also that farmgate milk prices had been volatile.
"Prices roller-coasted, starting the year at a high of 32.4 pence per litre and finishing at 21.4 pence," it said.
"This reflected a collapse in dairy markets driven by global overproduction in milk, weaker demand from China and a Russian ban on imports of EU dairy produce."
Dale Farm group chief executive David Dobbin said despite this fall in operating profits, the company had "delivered another year of strong growth".
"The outlook for the current year remains difficult with dairy markets continuing to decline as the result of the ongoing global oversupply situation, exacerbated by the ending EU dairy quotas in April 2015 which has led to increased output," he said.
The company said there was a 10% increase in turnover to Â£320m, driven by a 27% growth in consumer sales with packed cheese sales volumes up 53% and packed butter sales volumes up 30%.
Its brands include Dromona, Spelga and Rowan Glen.


Tributes have been paid to a 24-year-old youth football coach who died in a crash in Angus.

Kieran Innes, of Aberdeen, died after his car crashed on the A90 north of Forfar on Tuesday morning.
Mr Innes was a coach with Middlefield Wasps FC.
The club said in a statement: "He was a genuine nice guy and would do anything for anyone. Kieran also ran our disability football. He loved all his players who will miss him dearly."
'Mark of respect'
The statement added: "The Wasps family has lost a true gent who will be sorely missed. He loved the Wasps. Thoughts go to the Innes family.
"As a mark of respect we will be doing a minutes applause at each Wasps game this weekend - Kieran didn't do silence."
Police Scotland in Tayside renewed an appeal for information.


We now know how much money the Welsh government is going to receive between 2014 and 2020 from the European Union to try to create jobs.

Wales has qualified for what is called "structural funding" for the third time in a row because it is one of the poorer parts of the EU.
But is confirmation that another £2bn of EU funding for poorer areas coming to Wales good news or a sad reflection of the weakness of our economy?
It depends how optimistic you are really but it has to be used to generate growth and create jobs. If it does that, Wales will be happy.
David Hughes, head of the European Commission office in Wales, says the commission recommends how the money is spent.
This latest amount has to be used exclusively by the Welsh government for long-term sustainable economic growth and jobs.
It is the third time in a row that Wales has qualified for these types of funds.
The latest tranche runs from January 2014 until 2020. There will be £1.7bn for west Wales and the valleys and £350m for east Wales.
When Wales first qualified for this type of funding in 2000 and was given £1.6bn, First Secretary Rhodri Morgan called it a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform our economy and make a major difference to the lives of people in west Wales and the valleys" .
But we were given another opportunity when for a second time we were one of the poorer parts of the EU - and in 2007 were awarded £1.8bn.
Now Wales has been given this special tranche of money again.
Wales has qualified for the third time in a row because it remains one of the poorer parts of the EU.
The money is given to areas where the value of what is produced is three-quarters or less of the EU average.
Mr Hughes said: "The European money that Wales has had since 2000 has made a difference and if the extra money had not been coming in it would be worse than now."
He added: "We have to focus on the added value that this funding can bring in addition to regional and UK funding and it gives the Welsh government a stable, seven-year long funding programme to invest in long-term projects and growth."
The money arrives in January 2014.


A man has been charged in connection with a crash which led to a footballer losing both of his legs.

Newmarket FC player Shaun Whiter, 27, had the amputations following the crash in Newmarket, on 1 July.
Jan Adamec, 40, of Shetland Road, Haverhill, has been charged with two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He remains in custody and will appear at Cambridge Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Mr Whiter's friend, Joey Abbs, who plays for Soham Town Rangers, was also "seriously injured" in the crash, police said.
At the time of the accident, Mr Abbs' Vauxhall Astra had a flat tyre and Mr Whiter, an estate agent in Stansted, had pulled over to help.


A woman has admitted decapitating her pet snakes using scissors and a kitchen knife.

Jennifer Lampe was found by police with a headless snake still moving around her neck and her reptiles' severed heads in her pockets, Telford Magistrates' Court heard.
The 28-year-old said she feared she was about to be made homeless and would be unable to look after the boa constrictor and bull python.
She will be sentenced on 18 August.
Lampe had been living with her sister in Church Stretton since May last year but did not see eye-to-eye with her sister's partner, the court heard.
RSPCA prosecutor Roger Price said the defendant "became hysterical" about the friction that had built up between them on 8 April.
He said: "She went into the kitchen and took scissors out of the kitchen drawer, and a knife, and retreated to her bedroom, where she kept the two snakes."
Lampe's sister, who was not named in court, left the property with her boyfriend when she saw blood in her sibling's room and the police were called.
"The police then arrived and found the defendant with the boa constrictor around her neck.  The bull python had also been decapitated and was still in her bedroom," Mr Price said.
The court heard Lampe, of Shropshire Street, Market Drayton, had drunk seven cans of lager and shots of amaretto and whisky before killing her pets.
She pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and was granted unconditional bail.


The former head of MI6 has warned against adopting electronic voting systems owing to fears about international cyber warfare.

Sir John Sawers told the BBC that casting a ballot with pencil and paper was "actually much more secure".
He warned: "The more things that go online, the more susceptible you are to cyber attacks."
But campaigners for electronic voting said there was "no evidence" it was more open to fraud.
Electronic voting allows people to make their choices via a computer or smartphone, instead of people having to go to a polling station.
Sir John's warning comes after the US government accused Russia of hacking into the emails of leading Democrats and interfering in the recent presidential election.
This has increased concerns among security experts as to whether vital national electronic systems are vulnerable to malicious disruption by other countries.
Sir John, head of MI6 from 2009 until 2014, told the BBC Radio 4 documentary The New World: Axis of Power, which examines the state of international tensions between the world's leading powers: "We need to have systems which are robust."
He said: "The only trouble is, the younger generation of people expect to be able to do things remotely and through electronic devices.
"Bizarrely the stubby pencil and piece of paper that you put your cross on in the ballot box is actually much more secure than anything which is electronic."
Commons Speaker John Bercow's Commission on Digital Democracy has called for secure online voting to be an option for all voters by the 2020 UK general election.
And the Electoral Commission has also been looking into making "radical changes" to the system.
Areeq Chowdhury, chief executive of WebRoots Democracy, which campaigns for electronic voting, said: "There is no evidence to show that online voting is more susceptible to fraud than the paper alternative.
"There have been more instances of fraud across the world with paper votes than electronic ones, and the recent recounts of electronic votes in the US showed no evidence of hacking."
But Sir John told The New World: "One of the big problems we face with cyber is that it hasn't really been discussed internationally about what is an acceptable use of cyber powers and where are the red lines and what happens when those red lines are crossed.
"We're at a very early stage. It's a bit like with nuclear weapons back in the 1950s. We've got the capabilities, but there are no rules lined up as to how they should be used."
The New World: Axis of Power is broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 09:00 GMT on Tuesday, 3 January 2017, and is available here.


Middlesbrough have sacked manager Aitor Karanka after three and a half years at the club.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Boro are winless in their last 10 Premier League games and currently sit in the relegation zone, three points from safety with 11 games remaining.
They are also the league's lowest scorers with just 19 goals and were knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester City last weekend.
Assistant head coach Steve Agnew will take control of the first team.
"This club will always hold a special place for me," said Karanka, 43.
"I'd like to thank Middlesbrough for a wonderful opportunity and the players, staff and all the people at the club who I have worked with."
The former Real Madrid assistant manager took over at the Riverside in November 2013 to become Middlesbrough's first ever non-British boss.
Boro secured automatic promotion to the Premier League last season.
The club met with Karanka and following discussions, Boro said it was in their "best interests" to make the change.
Former Leicester manager Nigel Pearson is the early favourite to succeed Karanka.
Boro had a solid start to the season including a 1-1 draw at Manchester City, but their form dipped over the winter and without a win since 17 December, they dropped into the relegation zone on 4 March for the first time.
Karanka has won just 15% of his games in the Premier League, with four wins, 10 draws and 13 defeats. His win rate in the Championship was 52%.
Goals have been hard to come by, despite the £7m signing of Aston Villa striker Rudy Gestede in January and they have scored just three goals in their last 10 league games.
In addition to scoring the fewest goals in the league this season, they have also attempted the fewest shots on target with just 65.
But they do have the joint fifth best defence in the league, better than Arsenal and Liverpool, with only 30 goals conceded.
They have also conceded 31 fewer goals than Swansea, who are in 16th place.
Boro spent over £20m in the summer, as they brought in midfielder Marten de Roon for £12m, along with wingers Adama Traore for £7m and Viktor Fischer for £3.8m.
They also signed former Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo on a season-long loan from Spanish side Valencia.
It was reported that Karanka walked out of the Riverside last March following a row, but returned a few days later.
This season he criticised the board over a lack of January signings and also hit out at the fans' behaviour after a 3-1 defeat by West Ham in January, saying the players deserved more respect.
It has also been reported that he had training ground rows with Stewart Downing and then omitted the former England winger and January signing striker Patrick Bamford from his matchday squad that lost to City on Sunday.
The Boro boss later said he did not pick the pair because he wanted "18 fighters".
And history is not on their side...
BBC Tees Sport journalist Rob Law
The departure of Aitor Karanka won't come as a massive shock to some Boro fans, many of whom have been calling for change for a number of weeks now.
The same can't be said for Karanka, who just last week declared "I'm not a quitter" to the press, as well as suggesting he had the backing of chairman Steve Gibson.
However, that's not to say the signs weren't there. Just last week BBC Tees Sport learned of a training ground bust-up between Karanka and Stewart Downing, who was frustrated at not being selected for the trip to Stoke.
That was the latest in a long line of fall-outs, from criticising the fans to the board and just last weekend Karanka said Downing, and new signing Patrick Bamford, lacked "fight" after leaving them both out of the match-day squad.
Karanka will always be remembered as the manager who got Boro promotion back to the Premier League after seven years in the wilderness.
However in the end it seems Karanka had lost the dressing room, as well as large section of the supporters, and this time the rifts were too big to mend.

Bob Dylan will not travel to Sweden to receive his Nobel Prize for Literature in person, it has been announced.

The Swedish Academy, which awards the Nobel prizes, said it had received "a personal letter" saying he was unable to attend next month's Nobel ceremony "due to pre-existing commitments".
Dylan, the organisation said, felt "very honoured" and wished he could receive the prize personally.
The singer is required to give a Nobel lecture between now and next June.
The 75-year-old will not be the first recipient of the prestigious award to have been a no-show at the prize-giving ceremony.
Harold Pinter and Doris Lessing, winners of the prize in 2005 and 2007 respectively, were among others who did not attend the event.
"The prize still belongs to them, just as it belongs to Bob Dylan," the Academy said in a statement.
"We look forward to Bob Dylan's Nobel lecture, which he must give - it is the only requirement - within six months counting from December 10, 2016."
Dylan's win was a major talking point when it was announced last month, as was his apparent silence on the matter.
Some interpreted this as a sign he was ambivalent about the award, though the Academy later said he appreciated it "so much".
The veteran rock star was awarded the prize "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".
The Nobel Prize award ceremony and banquet will be held in Stockholm on 10 December, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death.

Fresh doubts have arisen over plans by French Energy firm EDF to build an £18bn nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point, Somerset.

Angus MacNeil, chairman of the House of Commons energy committee, has called for the project to be re-examined.
It follows a letter that EDF chief executive Jean-Bernard Levy sent to his staff, saying the project needed more funding from the French government.
The UK government said it was "committed" to Hinkley Point.
But Mr MacNeil, an MP for the SNP, said the government needed to urgently rethink its support for the proposal.
"It's something that has to be looked into very carefully and very soon because it is a huge obligation and a lot of eggs in quite small baskets," he said.
"The Chinese are involved, the French involved, the UK are involved. They need to take a step back because other places have decided not to go ahead with this stuff."
In his letter to EDF staff, Mr Levy said: "We are currently negotiating with the French state to obtain commitments allowing us to secure our financial position.
"I am sure that this project is a good project for the group and that in the near future, all the conditions will come together for it to be definitely launched.
"It is clear that I will not engage EDF in this project before these conditions are met."
The company, which is 85% owned by the French government and owns 58 reactors in France, is expected to finalise in April how it will fund the project.
It has postponed the decision a number of times. The plan was delayed in January, reportedly owing to funding difficulties.
But Mr Levy highlighted in his letter that China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN), which will own 33.5% of the project, was investing about 8bn euros (£6bn).
He also expressed his confidence in EDF to manage "very large projects".
Pressure is mounting as the £18bn cost of the Hinkley project is more than the entire value of the firm.
And there is scepticism as the British government has agreed to pay more than twice the current wholesale price of energy once the plant is producing - £92.50 per megawatt hour for electricity, against £37 per megawatt hour.
But Prime Minister David Cameron has backed the plan, calling Hinkley Point a  "pillar of (the UK and France's) bilateral relationship".
Simon Taylor, an economist at Cambridge University, said the letter from Mr Levy showed he was looking for reassurances from the other stakeholders.
He said it would be "very embarrassing for the French government to cancel this" but a pull-out from the UK side could also "cast doubt on the UK's entire energy policy" and jeopardise future projects.
By Simon Jack, BBC News business editor
Imagine British Gas owners Centrica were in financial trouble after sinking billions into a French power station. And then imagine that the bill for rescuing it fell on to taxpayers. That is essentially the risk facing EDF and the French government.
The dangers to the company's financial integrity are great enough to prompt EDF's chief financial officer to resign in protest, the French equivalent of the National Audit Office to issue stark warnings and French unions to lobby their members to vote against the project.
To make matters worse, EDF's recent track record in delivering big projects is poor. Reactor construction in France, Finland and China have run over time and massively over budget.
The prize for EDF with Hinkley Point is a guarantee to provide electricity for decades at three times the current price. The deal is still on but the stakes are high as a crucial EDF board meeting later this month approaches.
Construction of Hinkley Point C in Somerset, the first new nuclear plant in the UK for 20 years and the most expensive in the world, is due to begin in 2019, two years after it had originally been due to open.
Tom Greatrex, chief executive Nuclear Industry Association - which represents operators of nuclear power - said: "The UK needs new low carbon, baseload power to replace older power stations that have closed, or are about to close.
"To improve energy security, reduce emissions and have a balanced energy mix for the future, we need Hinkley and other new nuclear power stations to go ahead."
But Allan Jeffrey from the Stop Hinkley campaign group said there were many problems, whether construction, technical or financial.
"Nuclear power is an old fashioned form of energy where you throw away most of your energy, it's dangerous and risky and open to terrorist attacks," he said.
"We should be looking at Plan B which should be getting on with sustainable, renewable energy."
The concerns are the latest in a string of problems - last week EDF's finance director Thomas Piquemal quit reportedly because he feared the project could jeopardise the company's financial position.
And in February, Chris Bakken, the director of the project, said he was leaving to pursue other opportunities.
Development has also been hindered by problems with a reactor.
European Pressurised Reactors (EPRs), in use in Flamanville, France, were found to have a construction fault meaning they were unable to handle the required pressure.
This pushed the plant's delivery date back while safety concerns were addressed.
A Department of Energy and Climate Change spokesman said: "The British government is committed to Hinkley and committed to new nuclear.
"It is the only proven low-carbon technology that can provide continuous power, irrespective of whether the wind is blowing and the sun is shining.
"The industry will create thousands of jobs and benefit companies in the supply chain."


Mexican Sergio Perez is to continue with Force India for a fourth successive season in 2017.

The 26-year-old had explored options with Williams and Renault but said on Sunday he was "happy and proud" to be with Force India.
He added: "I want to thank all the teams that showed interest. It flatters me incredibly and pushed me to be strong."
Force India are currently fourth in the constructors' standings.
The team had always insisted they had Perez under contract for 2017 but it took some time to finalise commercial arrangements with the driver and the group of Mexican companies that sponsor both him and the team.
Perez's career was hanging by a thread when he was dropped by McLaren after one season with them in 2013 but since joining Force India he has scored four podium finishes to add to the three he achieved with Sauber in 2012.
In the process, he has emerged in the last couple of seasons as one of the better-regarded drivers behind the big names in the leading teams and has more than justified his place at the pinnacle of the sport, despite the fact he brings money to a team to secure his place.
Both Williams and, particularly, Renault were interested in him, but he has decided that Force India is his best competitive opportunity.
The team have one of the smaller budgets in F1 but have impressed in recent years for their ability to produce a competitive car.
If they can maintain fourth position this season under pressure from Williams, it would be their best finish since the team were in their original guise as Jordan, who peaked with third place in 1999.
Perez's decision leaves only a few loose ends to be tied up in the 2017 F1 driver market.
Williams are expected to announce shortly that they are promoting Canadian novice Lance Stroll, who on Sunday won the European Formula 3 championship, to partner their current driver Valtteri Bottas.
Brazilian Felipe Massa announced last month that he was retiring at the end of the season, which would leave Renault as the only major team not to have firmed up their drivers.
Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari are all retaining the same line-ups as this year and McLaren are promoting their reserve driver in Belgian Stoffel Vandoorne to partner two-time champion Fernando Alonso in 2017.
Alonso's current team-mate Jenson Button has decided not to race next year. The team have an option to bring him back in 2018 if they want to, but the 2009 champion said at the Malaysian Grand Prix this weekend that it was "quite possible" he would not race in F1 again.
Renault have long been expected to promote their French reserve driver Esteban Ocon into one of their cars next season, with both current drivers Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer under pressure for their seats.
But Renault have not yet made their decision and are taking their time.
The lack of availability of other drivers means either Magnussen or Palmer may be retained, although that is not believed to be Renault's first choice.


A candidate for the Ulster Unionist Party leadership has been reported to the party's disciplinary committee.

It is understood the complaint is that Fermanagh politician Tom Elliott announced his candidacy too early.
He said he would stand for the post in June, but party leader Sir Reg Empey only officially announced his resignation last week.
Mr Elliott said the complaint was "incredibly petty" and that there was no rule stopping him announcing his intention to run for the leadership.
Sir Reg said he would resign earlier this year following disappointing results in the general election.
A selection meeting for the new party leader is due to be held at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast in September.
The new leader is expected to be in place ahead of its party conference in late October or early November.


The most senior woman bishop in the Church of England is to be consecrated at Canterbury Cathedral later.

The Venerable Rachel Treweek, 52, who is Archdeacon of Hackney in the Diocese of London, will become the new Bishop of Gloucester.
Two women bishops have already been appointed, but Archdeacon Treweek is the first woman to run a diocese and will be one rank below archbishop.
She is succeeding The Right Reverend Michael Perham, who retired last year.
Representatives and clergy from churches across Gloucestershire are expected to be in attendance to welcome the new bishop to the diocese.
She is expected to join a procession to the cathedral before being consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury and giving her first sermon.
It is understood she will also become the first female bishop to enter the House of Lords.
Archdeacon Treweek said it was "an immense joy and privilege" when she was appointed to the role in March.
The Church formally adopted legislation to allow women bishops last November.


The football child sex abuse scandal is one of the biggest crises in the history of the Football Association, says chairman Greg Clarke.

Media playback is not supported on this device
More than 20 ex-footballers have made allegations of child sex abuse, with several police investigations and an FA review started in response.
Clarke said he was "worried" that the FA could be faced with a substantial compensation payout in future.
But he added: "If there are legal consequences, we'll deal with it."
He was also asked about claims that clubs may have tried to bribe players to stay silent over their abuse in the past, and described the idea as "morally repugnant".
Police have received more than 250 calls relating to historical abuse allegations in football, while a hotline set up by children's welfare charity the NSPCC in response to the scandal received more than 50 calls in its first two hours.
Clarke said he was "angry" that "1990s society was sleep walking and we were part of that problem".
The government has called a meeting with police and the FA over the issue, and Culture Secretary Karen Bradley told the Commons on Tuesday that the national child abuse inquiry headed by Professor Alexis Jay may include abuse in football as part of its remit.
Meanwhile, Sports Minister Tracey Crouch has written to more than 40 sporting governing bodies asking them to look into whether there are any historical allegations of abuse "that would merit investigation or reinvestigation".
She has also urged them to make sure their child protection protocols are "as robust as possible".
The FA review will look at what officials and clubs knew, and when.
Clarke, who defended the FA inquiry from criticism it should have a wider scope, said: "The moral consequences of failing to deal with some of these issues in the past we must get to the bottom of."
Several former footballers have waived their right to anonymity in order to go public and raise awareness of alleged historical abuse in football, winning praise from politicians, sport administrators and abuse charities.
At least eight police forces are now investigating allegations of historical sexual abuse.
Asked if it was the biggest crisis in the FA's history, Clarke told BBC Sport: "I think it's certainly the biggest one I can remember."
And asked if the FA acted quickly enough, he added: "I think we've acted very quickly, to be frank.
"The main thing to do is not to encumber the criminal investigations of the police by tainting their evidence.
"We've agreed with the police that we won't talk to any of the victims formally, because they have to talk to them, they have to take statements and we're not allowed to interfere in that process."
Clarke said he would not be speaking to any of his predecessors so as not to "taint the evidence". He said QC Kate Gallafent would lead the inquiry, and the terms of reference for the review will be discussed at an FA board meeting on Wednesday.
"I don't want to be accused of turning this into an old boys' inquiry, where all the people in football are talking to each other to make sure it's a manageable outcome," he said.
"She will lead it, it will be her conclusions, we will act upon those conclusions and those conclusions will be disclosed."
Clarke said he "really didn't know" and was "not ruling out anything because I haven't got any facts yet".
"I think institutionally, all organisations in the old days used to protect themselves by keeping quiet and closing ranks," he said. "That's completely inappropriate and unacceptable today.
"I don't think we can ever say things are clean, because our job is to be paranoid about the safety of children in our game. Every year, we need to assume that bad things are happening and make sure our processes, training and investment are as good as they can be.
"We do that every year, overseen by the NSPCC. You'll never see complacency at the FA."


Footage of three 17 year olds making preparations for a Columbine-style attack on an English school can be shown for the first time.

8 April 2016 Last updated at 11:35 BST
Video showing the trio throwing petrol bombs and shooting weapons can be shown for the first time after an anonymity order expired.
Jacob Crouch and Ryan Towell, who are both now 20, had fought to prevent their identities being revealed, but the Court of Appeal overturned the order.
They appear in the video alongside Michael Piggin, who was detained indefinitely in 2014 after he was found to have masterminded the thwarted assault on Burleigh College, Loughborough.


Marc Fucarile didn't really want to go watch the Boston Marathon last year - he'd never been before and isn't keen on crowds.

But he thought it would be fun to see some old friends and he could take his five-year-old son, Gavin, along too.
His fiancee Jen Regan persuaded him they'd probably want to have a beer and Gavin shouldn't miss pre-school. He agreed. That was the last piece of luck that day.
When the first bomb went off, Mr Fucarile and his friends all rushed into the street. The second blast was about 4ft (1.2m) away from them.
He found himself on his back, one leg on fire. He tried to get his trousers off, but got third-degree burns on his hands from touching his belt buckle.
His right leg had been blown off. People started to help. They told him not to try to sit up. He knew that wasn't good.
He'd once helped a guy in a car crash and remembered telling him not to move because he looked so bad.
First one ambulance and then another went by. They were too full.
Eventually a policeman took him to hospital. He kept thinking about his son. He had to stay alive for Gavin.
The twin swing doors to the hospital opened: he was wheeled through and then he blacked out. He was in a coma for days.
Someone phoned Ms Regan. The person told her to get the hospital quickly.
At first she thought it was one of his friends playing a sick joke, but then she realised this was serious.
She went with his brother, a policeman. He'd get her in past any security. When a doctor phoned to say Mr Fucarile had lost his leg, she threw the phone and punched the truck.
She said the man in the hospital bed looked nothing like him.
They are a pretty amazing couple. Together since school, childhood sweethearts.
He was a roofer, she's a nurse, both Boston Irish-Italian.
A long line of family in the police, military and the fire brigade. He's a regular guy, a charmer, a joker and a tease.
She's tough and lovely, and says she is coping because you have to when you have family.
But her smile is thin and she's rather closer to the edge than you feel happy about.
They're the sort of people who tell you they're average Americans, but they're going through something extraordinary and terrible and somehow holding it together.
They name-check all the people who helped them, whom they've become close to, whose acts reassure them strength and goodness can be shaped from formless horror. An online fundraising effort has garnered more than $190,000 (Â£114,000).
Ms Regan says the bombers failed; the terrorists lost because of that, because Boston is strong, as the slogan goes.
"You think that you can break everyone and they didn't succeed, you know? They really didn't."
A lot of what they say could sound bitter in cold print - but it is not said with bitterness but resignation.
They are clearly mourning a life they once had that will never return.
They hope for what Ms Regan calls "a new normal" that is merely bad, rather than hideous.
Mr Fucarile has endured endless surgery. His left foot had to be rebuilt, piece by slow piece, an artery taken out of the leg.
The spike of bone that once was his heel was chiselled down until it fit his newly-made foot. The last operation was in January. There will probably be more.
His burnt left leg hurts all the time. He wakes Ms Regan, screaming in the night. He has to decide whether to keep it or have it amputated as well.
And then there's the shrapnel in his heart. Another operation. His dad says open-heart surgery is really painful.
Watching Mr Fucarile with their six-year-old son Gavin, it is clear how much the boy loves him, clambering on his lap to look together at pictures on a laptop.
But they both say it is the impact on Gavin that is the worst of a list of very bad things.
"The hardest part for me is probably that Gavin got robbed of a big part of his childhood. Marc doesn't get to go outside with him and throw a ball like he used to. Or, you know, building a snowman - we didn't do anything this winter with him. It's awful," Ms Regan said.
"I think every little boy knows that there's bad guys out there but they think that it's like a cartoon," she added. "And now [Gavin] knows that there's real mean people out there and it's awful. I think that's been the hardest part for me."
This must be hard for Mr Fucarile to hear, but he doesn't disagree.
"The hardest thing has been my son, just when he makes comments like, 'It was funner, dad, when you had two legs'," he said.
People in a nearby courtyard "were playing out in the snow and he was like, 'Let's go out and play in the snow', and I was like, 'Daddy can't'".
They agree with the federal government that, if convicted, the man accused of the bombings should be put to death.
Mr Fucarile says anyone who doesn't think that is nuts.
"I hope that somebody burns him and shanks him and cuts his legs off," Ms Regan said.
At one point Mr Fucarile stops the interview - his new prosthetic leg is chaffing, and he is beginning to blister. He has to take it off.
When he returns and continues talking, Ms Regan rolls her eyes.
"You just go on and on and on," she said.
He reaches over to grab her. They laugh. They joke about how he chases her in the wheelchair, and how the noise it makes gives her the creeps.
They're getting married in a few days' time - it's a wedding long postponed and they say it will forever put a happy spin on the anniversary of the most awful week of their life.
But this is love amid the ruins. What is hard? Mr Fucarile recites a list.
Getting in the truck. Getting Gavin in the truck. Getting dressed. Getting in the shower. Falling down in the shower. Going to the toilet. Ms Regan not getting help with the dishes and the trash and every other little thing he used to do.
When asked what's hardest, he pauses, a world of pain on his face.
Ms Regan has the answer.
"What's hardest? Everything. Everything."


Columnist Katie Hopkins has been told she cannot appeal against a libel action which landed her with a six-figure bill.

The pundit and radio host was ordered to pay Â£24,000 in damages to food blogger Jack Monroe earlier this month.
Ms Monroe sued Ms Hopkins over two tweets posted in May 2015 which accused her of vandalising a war memorial.
Mr Justice Warby said the grounds of Ms Hopkins' appeal would not have "a real prospect of success" in his view.
Ms Hopkins has also been ordered to pay Â£107,000 towards the campaigner's legal costs within 28 days.
He ruled that the tweets had caused "Ms Monroe real and substantial distress" and she was entitled to "fair and reasonable compensation".
The final costs figure has yet to be assessed.
Mail Online columnist Ms Hopkins could appeal directly to the Court of Appeal.
Following the original verdict, she argued that libel and defamation laws should be applied differently to cases involving social media.


A union has called for another 24-hour strike by conductors on Southern rail trains in an ongoing dispute about the introduction of driver-only trains.

Southern operator Govia Thameslink (GTR) said it would implement a new role for conductors from 21 August, with guards no longer opening and closing doors.
The RMT union has said their current role is vital for safety reasons.
Members will be asked to walk out on Tuesday 21 June.
The union's southeast organiser Paul Cox said: "It is not just about operating doors. Conductors will save lives in the event of emergency."
Southern said the proposed strike would have a significant effect on services, with no service on many routes and only a limited service on others.
It has repeated its call for the RMT to engage in talks.
Meanwhile, rail minister Claire Perry has said the recent high level of sickness absence by Southern conductors amounted to a "work to rule", which was "outrageous and unfair".
Last month GTR said illness rates had doubled since the first strike in April.
But the RMT insisted there was "no unofficial action" and blamed staff shortages on "gross mismanagement".
"Trying to lump the blame onto hard-working, frontline staff, who take the full force of passenger anger for cancellations and delays, is cowardly and despicable," it added.
Performance figures released by operator Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) showed fewer than one in seven Southern mainline services arrived on time on Monday.
Shares in GTR's parent company Go-Ahead fell 12% on Tuesday after it issued a profit warning, citing "very challenging performance and industrial relations environments".
GTR is in dispute with the RMT and ASLEF unions on three issues: the role of guards, the introduction of longer driver-only trains and closure of some ticket offices.
The operator insisted there would be no job losses or pay cuts.


UKIP can "fight the ground game" and play an important part in the campaign against the UK's membership of the EU, party leader Nigel Farage has said.

Ahead of a party conference in Eastbourne, he said UKIP would "get cracking" with the "no" campaign.
He told the BBC that from the autumn UKIP would be "holding bid public meetings, putting leaflets through doors and campaigning".
The in/out referendum on the UK's EU membership will take place by 2017.
Prime Minister David Cameron wants to renegotiate the terms of membership before the vote, including benefits to EU migrants and freeing businesses from Brussels' red tape.
Mr Farage is back in post as UKIP's leader after a short-lived resignation and recent in-fighting within the party.
He told the BBC's Today programme that the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) group and Labour peer Lord Mandelson had already begun arguing the case to stay in the EU, but those wanting to exit could get caught out if the prime minister decided on an early vote.
"What I want to see are people who've been Tory and Labour veteran Eurosceptics standing up and saying that Mr Cameron is simply not asking for enough and that they should be joining forces with us and others to get the campaign going."
He added: "My worry is that many of these well-known Tory Eurosceptics - I suspect their loyalty to the Conservative party may in the end be greater than their loyalty to the country and this cause."
He said he saw UKIP as the only Eurosceptic organisation in Britain.
In the absence of an umbrella group of anti-EU businesses and cross-party campaigners, UKIP was going to start the ground game, he added.
"I'm not saying UKIP on their own could win the referendum", but they could be "a very important part and component of it", he said.
At a speech at UKIP's first regional post-election conference, Mr Farage said the "People's Army" - his name for UKIP supporters - was stronger now than it had ever been.
He told cheering delegates that he was disappointed neither he nor Mark Reckless had won parliamentary seats, but said he was proud that many of the four million UKIP voters were first-time voters inspired by UKIP to have their say.
He was also due to tell supporters they should not wait for details of David Cameron's promised reforms before starting their "no" campaign.
There was no time to waste in galvanising support, he was expected to say, and he was to pledge to have his "People's Army" mobilised by the autumn.
On Friday, Mr Farage said he believed David Cameron was trying to "frame the debate around benefits for migrants when actually it's not about that".
"It's about sheer numbers that come, it's about change to communities, it's about wage compression for ordinary workers."
Eurosceptic Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin said credit should be given to the prime minister for seeking a "fundamental" change in the UK's relationship with the EU.
"But unless we control things like migration, like how much we pay to the EU from our own Westminster Parliament, we are not actually making much of a change to our relationship," he told the Today programme.
"At that point I think Mr Farage and I might find that we've got more in common than he is prepared to admit at the moment."
The Eastbourne conference follows a period of turmoil within the party after the general election when Mr Farage resigned as leader but then returned just days later.
But he says his position as party leader is now the "strongest it has ever been".
"At this time, what people in UKIP and our backers say is, 'Nigel, without you, this could never have happened and you cannot desert the battlefield,'" he said.

The result was England's second bonus-point win in the competition, after they beat France in their opening match.
Meanwhile, Wales slipped to defeat at home a week after they beat Italy U20s 27-5.
Wales had won their last eight matches in the Under-20s Six Nations, while England now extend their winning streak to seven games in all competitions.
Jones put Wales into a commanding lead early on as he scored all of their 13 points prior to England's breakthrough.
Randall touched down before half-time as the visitors began to take control, but Coleman's try gave Wales hope of recording a comeback.
Man of the match Mercer, however, powered over at the other end soon after to make sure of victory for England.

David Cameron last week warned against the pernicious isolation that comes with "segregation" in schools.

"It cannot be right," the prime minister said, "that people can grow up and go to school and hardly ever come into meaningful contact with people from other backgrounds and faiths."
The context of the speech was tackling extremism - and his fear that "segregated schooling" would make it harder to stop the radicalising reach of a separatist Islamist ideology.
He warned of the risks of young people growing up in an inward-looking and disconnected environment.
But how do you really stop such segregation? Particularly when, as the prime minister's speech highlighted, schools can be more segregated than the neighbourhoods they serve.
This reflected recent research from the University of Bristol and the Demos think tank.
This showed a pattern of different ethnic groups tending to disproportionately concentrate in separate schools. In London, 90% of ethnic minority children were starting in schools in which ethnic minority pupils were the majority.
White pupils were disproportionately likely to be in schools with a white majority.
The academics highlighted the places with the greatest segregation between white and ethnic minority pupils - headed by Blackburn, Bradford, Birmingham and Oldham.
Among the most interesting commentary on this was from Trevor Phillips, former head of the Commission for Racial Equality, who said this wasn't about "terrible racial hostility".
Instead it reflected the cumulative outcome of many individual decisions, where families "unconsciously make a choice".
Education can bring out tribal instincts. Parents making school preferences are influenced by more than exam results, they want somewhere that feels right for their child - and that opens a whole set of questions about identity. Personal choice and calls for more integration can be pulling in different directions.
Where does a legitimate exercise of parental choice - over factors such as school ethos, the social mix of the intake, religious affiliation, mixed or single sex, private or state - turn into a form of self-segregation?
This isn't only a question in England's schools.
In France, with a centralised, secular education system, there were warnings from Prime Minister Manuel Valls about the emergence of segregated schools in which there were only children from "immigrant backgrounds, from the same culture and same religion".
But trying to enforce integration causes its own problems.
In Beijing last week there were reports of Chinese parents staging protests against positive discrimination measures to give minority pupils more access to college places. The parents were angry that it would reduce chances for their own children.
Mr Cameron said tackling segregation would specifically not mean "busing" pupils, referring to the controversial policy in the United States of sending pupils across cities to create more racially mixed schools.
The US provides the biggest example of an attempt to enforce integration. And last year brought much attention to the question with the 60th anniversary of a landmark legal ruling that outlawed school segregation.
There was disappointment that abolishing segregation had not been the same thing as achieving integration.
While many of the set-piece battles against segregation were fought in southern states in the 1950s and 1960s, there were warnings that decades later in liberal, multicultural northern cities that schools were too often islands of separation, with communities living parallel lives.
In New York, research showed a pattern of black and Hispanic students taught in schools in which almost no white pupils were enrolled. These were accusingly labelled by campaigners as "apartheid schools".
In response there have been suggestions that schools should switch to admissions systems that deliberately construct a more diverse intake.
But there have been longstanding claims that enforced desegregation can be counter-productive and that busing had led to "white flight" rather than integration, with white families moving out from multicultural inner cities to the suburbs.
A particular aspect of Mr Cameron's focus on segregation has been on religion, specifically the place of Muslims in the state school system.
What is most striking about the segregation data on faith schools is that Muslims do not have much of a place at all.
Of the 1.8 million children in faith schools in the state system in England, only 7,000 are in Muslim schools.
This doesn't mean that the demand goes away.
Without the option of regulated state Muslim schools, many families use low-fee private Islamic schools, operating outside the public sector. Among pupils attending Muslim schools, 91% are in private schools, compared with only 6% for Church of England or Catholic.
And a recent Ofsted report on pupils disappearing from school registers in Birmingham and east London suggested that some were switching to "unregistered" schools.
Perhaps they are seeking what Mr Cameron said was needed to deter radicalisation - a sense of "belonging". A sense of being somewhere where young people feel confident that they will fit in and where they will be safe in their identity.
A research project with schools in London, run by Kathryn Riley, professor of urban education at the UCL Institute of Education, is looking at ways to help pupils develop a sense of belonging.
The researchers say young people have a "deep-seated desire to be rooted and to belong" - and that schools need to find a way to make that work for pupils from many different backgrounds.
Mr Cameron put forward some ideas for building bridges - such as encouraging different schools to share facilities and teachers. He also proposed free schools with an integrated intake.
Brian Lightman, leader of the ASCL head teachers' union, backed calls to support schools with a "monocultural intake".
"In such cases it is really important that they are outward facing and enable young people to understand and empathise with the diversity which exists within the country as a whole," said Mr Lightman.
Expect to hear more about this balancing act between personal choice and collective identity when schools return in the autumn.


A 51-year-old man has been charged with slavery offences.

Toi Van Le is accused of holding a person in slavery or servitude contrary to the Modern Slavery Act 2015, police said.
He was also charged with facilitating the travel of another person with a view to exploitation and eight counts of producing cannabis.
Mr Le, of Tanners Hill, Deptford, London, was due to appear before Telford magistrates earlier.
West Mercia Police said Mr Le, who was arrested in Birmingham on Wednesday, was remanded in custody to appear at Shrewsbury Crown Court next month.


Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has signed a three-year contract with extension with the Spanish champions, keeping him at the Nou Camp until 2018.

The 25-year-old's new deal includes the option of a one-year extension at the end of the 2017-18 season and a buy-out clause of 150m euros.
Busquets has made 238 appearances since breaking into the first team in 2008.
He said: "To be in the best Club in the world is a dream come true, this is the Club of my life. I'm very happy."
He has won four La Liga titles, two Spanish Cups and the Champions League on two occasions.
The defensive midfielder - whose father Carles played 79 times as a goalkeeper for Barcelona - signed his contract in the presence of club president Sandro Rosell, vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu and director of football Andoni Zubizarreta.
"I'm still young and I hope to continue improving," he added.
"I want to win more titles, fight to win each match, win and put on a show with the same philosophy that we've had up until now. We're doing well for now."
After joining the club's youth side as a 17-year-old in 2005, Busquets played for both Barcelona's second and third-string teams, before becoming a first-team regular under former coach Pep Guardiola.
He has remained an almost ever-present alongside the likes of both Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta in midfield for both his club and the Spanish national side under the management of Vicente del Bosque.
Busquets played in every game at the 2010 World Cup as Spain won the trophy for the first time, and formed part of the side that lifted the 2012 European Championship after a 4-0 win over Italy.


Nearly 1,500 badgers were killed this year as part of the government's badger cull, Defra has announced.

The latest figures show 756 animals were killed in Dorset, 432 in Gloucestershire and 279 in Somerset as part of efforts to eradicate bovine TB.
The government said more than half of England was expected to be free of the disease by 2019.
However, campaigners said there was no evidence killing badgers was reducing the level of the disease in cattle.
It was the first year of culling in Dorset but the third for the other two counties as part of the government trial.
The minimum target numbers for Gloucestershire and Somerset for 2015 were less than those for 2014.
Environment Secretary Liz Truss told the House of Commons: "Our strategy to eradicate bovine TB is working.
"I'm pleased to report to the House today that the three badger control areas - Somerset, Gloucestershire and Dorset - all hit their targets this year.
"The chief vet is clear: this is delivering disease control benefits and it'll help us eradicate this terrible disease."
Ms Truss also said she was considering extending the badger cull programme.
"I'm pleased to say more than half of the country is on track to be officially free of the disease by the end of this parliament thanks to the strategy we put in place.
"And the chief veterinary officer is clear that licensing of future areas is needed to realise these disease control benefits, and I'm determined to follow through on that."
Dominic Dyer from the Badger Trust said: "Despite claiming all the cull contractors have met their targets for 2015, there is no evidence the killing of badgers is reducing the level of bovine TB in cattle.
"The claims by the NFU and pro-cull politicians that badger culling is delivering a significant reduction in bovine TB are looking increasingly bogus, and the exact opposite of the truth.
"Twenty million pounds of taxpayers' money has been spent killing thousands of badgers and yet cattle TB in Somerset is on the rise."
Culling took place from 31 August to 12 October in Somerset and Dorset and from 2 September to 14 October in Gloucestershire.
The number of animals killed in each cull zone fell within minimum and maximum targets.
Last year fewer than half the target number of badgers were killed in Gloucestershire, but the minimum target was met in Somerset.


Harlequins head coach John Kingston will take over as director of rugby when Conor O'Shea leaves the club at the end of the season.

Former England assistant coach Graham Rowntree has been appointed as forwards coach, while number eight Nick Easter will become defence coach.
Meanwhile, backs coach Mark Mapletoft will succeed Kingston as head coach.
"Taking the role of director of rugby is an exciting and well-timed new challenge for me," Kingston said.
He has been on the coaching staff at Harlequins since 2001, having previously had stints at Richmond and Irish side Galwegians.
Rowntree was England forwards coach under Stuart Lancaster, but left the national set-up in December when Eddie Jones was appointed as head coach.
The 45-year-old former Leicester prop won 54 caps for England and also appeared three times for the British & Irish Lions during his playing career.
"I've had an enforced step back from the game, and it's been good to spend time with the family," Rowntree told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I was delighted we won the Six Nations, but this is the start of a new adventure. I'm determined to grasp this opportunity. I'm ready for it."
Quins say the appointment of Kingston as director of rugby came following "a rigorous and wide-ranging selection process".
Chief executive David Ellis told the club website: "We were very clear that we needed somebody who would help drive us onto the next level,"
"John's passion for the club and our style of play will stand us in good stead, and convinced us he is the right man for the job."
Ex-England international Easter will primarily be a coach next season, but the 37-year-old will retain a playing contract.
O'Shea, who has won the Premiership title, the Amlin Challenge Cup and the LV= Cup during his six years as Quins boss, will leave The Stoop to take charge of Italy's national team this summer.
The Irishman could add a second European title before his departure, with Harlequins to face Montpellier in the final of the European Challenge Cup on 13 May.
In a further change to the backroom set-up, Tony Diprose will become academy and global development director.


A former legal assistant in the City who turned her back on the corporate world to become a writer has won one of the UK's leading scriptwriting awards.

Janice Okoh's script for Three Birds, a play about three young siblings who are left home alone, has won the Â£16,000 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting.
Playwright Simon Stephens, who chaired the judging panel, praised its "humanity and imagination".
Stephens made the announcement at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester.
Okoh will now develop the play with the theatre, with a view to staging a full production.
The theatre will also work with Alistair McDowall, Gareth Farr and Louise Monaghan, who received secondary judges' awards of Â£8,000 each.
Organisers said all four playwrights examined what it is like to grow up in Britain today. "It was a range that was reflective of the creative energy in this country and the moment," Stephens said.
Okoh, from south-east London, worked in the City for seven years before taking an MA in creative writing at the University of East Anglia. She has written three plays for BBC Radio 4 and teaches English as a foreign language.
"I decided I wasn't happy in law, even though I loved the life," she said. "I was doing [writing] courses and got into this radio thing, and from there I got into theatre and thought 'I could write a play.'"
Previous Bruntwood Prize winners include former schoolteacher Vivienne Franzmann, whose play Mogadishu was staged at the Royal Exchange earlier this year before transferring to the Lyric Hammersmith in London.
It has since earned nominations at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards and the Theatre Awards UK.
The prize is open to writers with any level of experience.
Michael Oglesby of property company Bruntwood, who was also on the judging panel, said "We are delighted to have been the catalyst for such a wonderful variety of creative writing.
He added: "In these harsh economic times it is essential that companies provide the stimulus and support for the arts."
The ceremony was held as the Royal Exchange announced details of its spring and summer 2012 season, including a new adaptation of Alan Sillitoe's seminal 1958 novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and Maxine Peake starring in August Strindberg's Miss Julie.


Inspectors have again expressed significant concerns about the care of vulnerable prisoners in Northern Ireland's high-security jail.

A report said the overall situation at Maghaberry, near Lisburn, has improved.
But, it said more needs to be done to support prisoners with serious mental health problems.
Inspectors also said more action is needed to tackle the misuse of prescription drugs and access to illegal substances.
This latest in a series of inspection reports on Maghaberry comes at a bad time for the prison service.
Two prisoners, Barry Cavan and Gerard Mulligan, have taken their own lives in the jail this month.
There have been five deaths in the prison during the past year, four of them as a result of suicide.
There are positives for the prison authorities.
Inspectors said the overall situation for prisoners and staff is more stable and safer than the situation they encountered during a visit in May last year.
At that time, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons memorably labelled Maghaberry the most dangerous prison in Europe.
This follow-up report notes encouraging progress since then, and said there are "some important early signs of recovery".
But, it repeats criticisms in a series of previous reports about the care of prisoners identified as vulnerable to suicide or self harm.
"There was still no overall safer custody strategy outlining how the prison would respond to safety issues, and/or those who were vulnerable," the report stated.
"This continued to be a significant omission that impeded work in these key areas."
The report said a small number of men with "intractable problems" are still spending too long alone in their cells, in conditions inspectors said "amounted to solitary confinement".
It was announced this week that the departments of justice and health at Stormont are to conduct a joint review of vulnerable people in custody.
Brendan McGuigan, head of Criminal Justice Inspection, has welcomed the move, but said he is "very concerned" at the lack of progress in this area.
"I made a recommendation for a joint approach like this more than two years ago and it still hasn't been completed," he said.
Mr McGuigan said access to psychoactive drugs in the prison, combined with leadership issues were a "toxic mix".
He said the situation had reached a "critical point", calling it the area of greatest concern for the justice system in Northern Ireland.
"We must find a new and better way to deal with vulnerable prisoners who at times are just locked up in their cells alone to deal with their demons," he said.
"The reality of it is that people are sent to prison as a result of the crimes that they have committed. That's the punishment.
"They are not sent there to die. They are not sent there to fester in an environment that actually doesn't give them any hope for the future."
He also said threatened strike action by some staff was a "de-stabilising factor".
The report also criticises aspects of healthcare in the prison, which is provided by the South Eastern Health Trust.
It expressed concern about recent staff shortages and "a lack of mental health nurses".
The misuse of prescription drugs and access to illegal drugs is identified as another problem area.
Mr McGuigan welcomed what he described as a "momentum to deliver change" within Maghaberry and progress made during the past 18 months.
But, he has also warned that progress could be reversed unless problems identified in this latest report are addressed.
"I reiterate our view that significant risks remain, particularly around prisoner safety, which have the potential to drag the prison back to where it was 18 months ago," he said.
Bria Mongan, from the South Eastern Health Trust said that while improvements had been made at the prison, a one-size approach does not fit all.
"If a prisoner requires hospital care they should be transferred to hospital and there's a process for that," she said.
She said the trust was working with the Northern Ireland Prison Service on strategies to deal with drug use and self-harm and suicide in the prison.


A nine-day occupation of a south London library has ended, only hours before those inside were due to be evicted.

Campaigners for the "Defend the 10" group have been inside Carnegie Library in Loughborough Junction since 31 March, the day it was closed for a year.
Lambeth Council said its plans would "guarantee" the library's future.
Protesters voluntarily left at about 12:30 BST and marched to Brixton Library to show "the fight goes on".
The Carnegie and Minet libraries officially closed for a year on 1 April. The council said they would reopen in 2017 with a gym as "healthy living centres".
A council spokesman said: "We are pleased that the occupiers have now left the building.
"It means we can now concentrate on spending our scarce resources on services instead of security, including developing the plans which will guarantee Carnegie Library's future.
"Carnegie will reopen with a library service that will remain free and open to all."
The authority added none of its 10 libraries were closing and the gym will be in the unused basement of the building.
The occupiers, including children and pensioners, were given 24 hours to leave from the point the order was served at 17:30 on Friday.
Campaigners said more than 2,000 people joined a march which began at Carnegie Library, passing by Minet Library before ending at Brixton Library, where a rally was held.
One protester, 11-year-old Denise, said: "Libraries are about more than books, they let people meet one another."
Tom Brandon, from Friends of Lambeth Libraries which began the Defend the Ten campaign to save 10 libraries in the borough, was among those who stayed at the Carnegie since 31 March.
Earlier he said: "The message to Lambeth Council is the fight goes on and we will not give up on any of the libraries to turn into gyms or give away."
The group plans to attend cabinet meetings and demonstrate outside the office of Greenwich Leisure Limited - which has the contract to open gyms in the libraries.


A district Communist Party official in south-west China has been sacked after apparently featuring in a sex video exposed by microbloggers.

Screenshots purporting to be from video of Lei Zhengfu having sex with his mistress, were published on Tuesday.
Mr Lei, a party chief in the city of Chongqing, is reported to have said that the video is a fake.
The case highlights the growing influence of China's microbloggers in pursuing local officials.
Correspondents say that the Communist Party has stepped up its drive against corruption and official impropriety amid rising public anger at abuses of power.
It is unclear who made the video and how it emerged.  A Chinese journalist, named as Ji Xuguang, posted the images on Tuesday.
He said that the video was made in 2007 and identified Mr Lei as the man in the photos having "improper sexual relations" with an 18-year-old "mistress" .
Mr Lei was sacked after an investigation by local party officials concluded that the man in the pictures was indeed him.
A statement on Friday said a further investigation into Mr Lei would take place.
The sacking was one of the most popular subjects on weibo, China's Twitter-like microblogging site.
In September, a safety official in Shaanxi province was sacked following a public outcry after images of him grinning at the scene of a fatal bus crash were posted online.
Outrage grew when Chinese "netizens" found images of him wearing luxury watches.


The son of one of 2,000 Chinese merchant seamen forcibly repatriated from Liverpool after World War Two is calling for an apology over the incident from the government.

The sailors crewed British ships bringing arms and food from America.
But the men, some of whom had married English women, were deported in 1946.
Peter Foo has set up a petition, requesting the Home Office acknowledge the events and apologise. The Home Office is yet to comment.
A BBC Radio 4 programme in 2005 detailed how deportation orders were served by the Home Office on the Chinese seamen during a series of police swoops on the Liverpool dock area.
Within 48 hours the sailors were on their way back to China.
Mr Foo said he was two when his father, Foo Hong Swang, was forcibly removed from his family.
He said: "After the war had finished in 1946, for two days the British Home Office ordered Special Branch and the police to round up all the Chinese seamen in Liverpool and take them back to the Far East and dump them."
He said the Liverpool families were never told about what had happened to the Chinese sailors.
"In my case at first I thought my father had died at sea or abandoned us."
He recalls his mother, Eleanor Foo, taking him down to Pitt Street in Liverpool to a seamen's club to see if there was any news of his father and there "was nothing; no news".
"My mother went to her grave thinking my father had abandoned her," he said.
"It really did make me sick to think I'd gone all those years thinking the worst and it just wasn't so."
Mr Foo said: "Very few people in the country know about this event.
He added the government should "just acknowledge it and let it be known it happened as it is part of history and give us an apology".


Londonderry councillor Gerard Diver has said job creation and investment will be one of his main priorities when he takes over as Foyle MLA for the SDLP.

He will replace the current SDLP MLA Pat Ramsey who announced he is stepping down for health reasons.
Mr Diver will be formally endorsed at a selection convention on 22 December.
He is currently the party leader on Derry City and Strabane District Council and has been a councillor for 14 years.
"Pat Ramsey is a political legend locally," said Mr Diver.
"I am honoured to have been put forward and I look forward to the many challenges. I'm looking forward to being in Stormont.
"Foyle faces a number of challenges like economic disadvantages, infrastructure issues and the growth of the university."
Mr Diver has been working in the community and voluntary sector for 20 years.
"I want to focus on job creation and investment in the north west," he said.
"Derry and the Foyle constituency has never really got what it deserved.
"I'm going to bring my expertise to the table but it's not for Gerard Diver to make changes alone.
"I imagine I will be co-opted into the assembly early in January. I'm excited and look forward to the months ahead."


The first rail freight service from the UK to China has departed on its 17-day, 7,500-mile journey.

British goods including soft drinks, vitamins and baby products are in the 30 containers carried by the train, which will be a regular service.
The DP World locomotive left its terminal in Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, for Zhejiang province, eastern China.
After going through the Channel Tunnel, the train will pass through seven other countries before arriving on 27 April.
They are France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan.
The operators say it is cheaper to send goods by train than by air and faster than by sea.
The service is part of China's "one belt, one road" programme aimed at reviving the ancient Silk Road trading routes with the West, dating back more than 2,000 years.
The first rail freight service in the opposite direction, from China to the UK, arrived three months ago.
UK international trade minister Greg Hands said the rail link "shows the huge global demand for quality UK goods".
Xubin Feng, chairman of Yiwu Timex Industrial Investment Co, which is organising the service, said restoring the Silk Road route was "an important and exciting initiative".
"We have great faith in the UK as an export nation and rail provides an excellent alternative for moving large volumes of goods over long distances faster," he said.
DP World chief executive Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem said it was a "significant trade occasion".
