Only 60 per cent of rail services will be running on Wednesday after a massive strike crippled the network today (June 21). The disruption is set to continue into tomorrow, with no overnight shifts meaning there will be a slow start.
Many passengers’ journeys took several hours longer than normal today, while those who chose to travel by car instead were greeted by a surge in traffic. Just a fifth of trains ran on Tuesday and half of all lines were closed.
Last trains were much earlier than normal, such as London Euston to Glasgow at 1.30pm and London King’s Cross to Edinburgh at 2pm. The network was due to shut down at 6.30pm.
