Rail strikes: Britain ‘taken back to bad old days’ as train network paralysed

• The biggest rail strike in 30 years begins in Britain
• Train network paralyzed, station deserted and roads closed
• Young people taking exams and medical appointments were affected.

The National Rail Strike “is taking us back to the bad old days”, Transport Secretary Grant Sheppard said this morning in order to block British soil.

Stations like London Easton, which are usually very busy, are almost deserted except for the pick-up lines by union members.

Only the fifth train is running, half the lines are closed, and the entire rail network will be shut down this evening at 6.30 pm, causing chaos for the passengers.
