A Scots football fan has described his 'nightmare' journey after travelling for hours amid ongoing train strikes to watch the FA Cup final.
A total of 15 rail companies have been affected as around 12,000 members of the train drivers’ union Aslef have taken part in the mass walkout. The industrial action takes place on a busy day for London, with the FA Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United at Wembley and the Epsom Derby, as well as other sporting and music events, including a Beyonce concert.
One Manchester United fan who lives north of the border spent £300 to reach the match and said the train strikes were a “nightmare”. Marty Harris, 46, from Edinburgh, woke up at 4am on Saturday to take a flight to Birmingham, drove to Watford, then took a carshare and tube to Wembley, with his young son.
