Edinburgh tourists spend four hours standing on train with heavy luggage amidst strike chaos

Two Edinburgh tourists travelling from London Kings Cross to the capital have spent four hours standing on a packed train with heavy luggage amidst strike chaos affecting services between the cities.

Rail passengers are facing fresh travel disruption over the next few days because of strikes by train drivers and other workers in long-running disputes over pay.

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) are on strike today (May 13) which is also the day of the Eurovision Song Contest final in Liverpool.
