January 5th - Rail strikes: When do they end?
from Simon Calder's Independent Travel Podcast
Following a 48hr strike by RMT members, Aslef members are now striking, crippling train services across much of England. It's a truly miserable start to the year for the country's rail industry and one that doesn't seem to have a resolution in sight as union delegates and the government blame one another for lack of progress. I take a look at the current situation and what it'll take to get the situation resolved.This podcast is free, as is my weekly newsletter. Sign up for it here. Hosted on Acast.
