A mum-of-two is set to face a 180-mile drive to get her sons to their exams during an upcoming rail strike.
Marta Kotlarek is worried about other families who don't have cars to get their children to school during the biggest rail strike in 30 years, with thousands of staff expected to walk out later this month bringing rail networks to a halt. Rail staff in England have voted to take part in a strike on three different days which could have a massive effect on services.
Marta's sons Jacob, 15, and Michael, 18, are taking their GCSEs and A-Levels respectively and would normally get the train from Flint to Ysgol Eirias and now on top of the first summer exams in three years following coronavirus, pupils and teachers who usually travel by train are now up against a rail strike. The strikes are set to take place on June 21, 23 and 25, with delays also expected on June 22 and 24 despite there being no strikes taking place.
