Railway workers went on strike again on Saturday as they continued their fight for better pay and conditions.
A picket line was formed outside Central Station in Newcastle, where members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) gathered with banners bearing slogans such as "safe trains for all". The strike follows action on Friday by train drivers in the Aslef union, which crippled services, with some parts of England having no trains all day.
On Saturday, the RMT walked out at 14 train operators, the day of the Eurovision Song Contest final in Liverpool. There were more train services running than on Friday but many companies were restricting their number of routes and hours of operation.
