People are being urged not to travel as more than 200,000 people prepare to head to Glastonbury Festival in Somerset this weekend.

Train passengers in the UK face widespread cancellations and disruptions as a nationwide rail strike begins on Tuesday.

More than 40,000 staff have walked out over pay, future job losses and working conditions. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) at Network Rail and 13 train operators are striking on 21, 23 and 25 June.

Half of Britain’s rail lines will be closed on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Only around 4,500 of the regular 20,000 daily rail services in the UK are expected to run during the strike. Those that do run will mostly be on main lines but will be open between 7:30 am and 6:30 pm.
