The strikes will continue for a further two days this week in the biggest industrial action on British railways for decades. Workers voted to strike after pay negotiations broke down.

Passengers can also check the train operator they booked their ticket through.
The train companies have shared updated timetables with train services which they expect to be running.
Announcements of any delays or cancellations are also made at train stations, so anyone travelling by train should keep a close eye on the departures board.
Anyone affected by the strike can contact their train operator to request a refund.
Union bosses are fighting to get guarantees of no compulsory redundancies for railway workers.
They also say railway staff have been subjected to multi-year pay freezes and thousands of jobs are at risk of being cut.
Network Rail denied the claim and said it has plans to modernise Britain’s railways which would avoid job losses.
Negotiations are set to continue and union bosses claimed they have a mandate to announce further action if an agreement cannot be reached.
