Train services in the UK were disrupted Thursday after train drivers joined thousands of other workers in their strike against low pay, price hike, jobs among other issues.
Standing on a picket line at London Euston station, the railway workers held placards as they protested the distressing situation.
The action was the latest in a series of strikes by British workers seeking substantial raises to offset soaring prices for food and fuel. Scores of railway cleaners, signalers, maintenance wokers staged a series of one-day strikes in June and July.
RMT official Mick Lynch said that it's a six day strike has become a talking point nationally.
"Once we land into an agreement with the company our members can get back to work on a regular basis and run the railway for the people," Lynch asserted
The strike is expected to intensify next week with trains, bus and subway network workers' participation.
