Birmingham, England, June 23rd 2022. Heavy traffic on Birmingham's A38M Aston Expressway on Thursday morning - The Midlands city of Birmingham was hit by an extra busy rush hour as day 2 of rail strikes hit Britain on Thursday June 23. Aerial footage of the city centre showed nose-to-tail traffic jams entering the city whilst West Midlands Railway trains lay unused at Soho TMD train depot in Smethwick. A canal boat travelling at 4mph was going faster than the trains parked close-by. The RMT Union is pushing for a 7 percent rise in wages across the board. Pic by: Stop Press Media / Alamy Live N
