    Amazing anyone has money for travel with the cost of living crisis though. Save your pennies for gas and pasta

    Nope because some of the workers going on strike are the infrastructure guys - so if they don't fix the line while you are sleeping (except if you live next to a line while it is being fixed) then the trains won't be running the next day anyway.
