Great Britain - Passenger numbers at major railway stations were below a fifth of usual levels as services were hit on the second day of rail strikes.
 
Network Rail said the amount of people using its stations on Tuesday, the first day of this week's strikes, was 12-18 percent of normal, and there was a similar situation on Thursday.
 
Edinburgh Waverley, London Euston, London Paddington, and Liverpool Lime Street were among the stations with far fewer passengers than a typical weekday.
 
Around 40,000 members of the Rail, Maritime, and Transport Union (RMT) at Network Rail and 13 train operators walked out again on Thursday as the bitter row over pay, jobs, and conditions continued.
 
Just one in five trains ran, and were mostly restricted to main lines, with around half of the network closed.
 
Services started later than normal at 07:30 and were due to shut down early at 18:30.
 
Last trains were much earlier than normal, such as London Euston to Glasgow at 13:30 and London King's Cross to Edinburgh at 14:00.
 
The disruption will continue on Friday, 24 Jun 2022, with only 60 percent of trains running, mainly because of a delay to the start of services as signallers and control room staff will not turn up for overnight shifts.
 
Members of the drivers' union Aslef on Greater Anglia walked out on Thursday in a separate dispute over pay.
