Glastonbury punters facing rail strike chaos prospect around festival dates

Three days of rail strikes are set to coincide with Glastonbury Festival dates. As a result, festival-goers may face chaos when trying to get there by train.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) have announced that strikes are planned for June 21, 23 and 25. The first strike day will also coincide with planned strike action by London Underground workers over jobs and pensions, Somerset Live reports.

As a result, more than 50,000 workers will be walking out to make a stand. The RMT has said their strike action is due to a dispute relating to pay and possible job losses.
