If this week’s rail strikes were called off, someone forgot to tell the train companies. Instead, the unions have secured seven days of chaos for the price of one.
Having cancelled industrial action late last Friday, the RMT still sparked days of disruption, with some rail operators even urging passengers not to travel. All this before Thursday’s Tube strike, which is set to last into the following morning to cap off a ghastly week for Londoners. There have even been accusations of price gouging, as some commuters seem to be asked to pay higher prices for patchier services.
