Twenty thousand rail workers walked out on Saturday, disrupting major sporting events and festivals
Holidaymakers and festival goers faced travel misery this weekend as the latest round of train strikes disrupted bank holiday plans.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union staged a strike on Saturday, with 20,000 workers taking part in a dispute over pay and working conditions.
The strike caused disruption across Britain for holidaymakers and those travelling to events including London’s Notting Hill carnival, the Reading and Leeds music festivals, and to sports events.
Severe congestion was reported on Britain’s motorways especially those leading to airports and the Port of Dover.
