More than 20,000 members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union working for 14 rail corporations went on strike on Saturday over pay and dealing situations.
The RMT members additionally took industrial motion on Thursday, and plan for one more strike on July 29, as rail bosses introduced greater than 2,000 job cuts and the closure of 1,000 ticket places of work within the nation.
The National Rail warned the passengers of serious disruption, saying they need to anticipate giant areas of the rail community to have little or no companies.
In an announcement on Saturday, RMT common secretary Mick Lynch stated: “Train companies invest little or nothing in our railways and make completely unjustifiable profits which they squirrel away in shareholder dividends and bosses pay packets.”
“It is a scandal that the travelling public is being ripped off by greedy rail privateers while at the same time the government oversees a corrupt system and prolongs a rail dispute for political reasons,” he added.
