Picture dated December 13th shows trains in sidings in Ely,Cambs,on a freezing cold morning as another day of industrial action takes placeon the railways. Trains were stacked up in the sidings at Ely railway station in Cambridgeshire today (Wed) as another national strike by rail workers goes ahead after members of the UK’s largest rail union rejected a pay offer. Rail workers will also walk out tomorrow, Friday and Saturday as they dispute pay and work practices. Network Rail, which owns and maintains the railways, had offered a five per cent pay rise this year and a four per cent rise in 2023. But RMT union boss Mick Lynch described the deal as "substandard", as per cent of members who voted rejected the deal.
