Tube and rail strikes: Commuters face travel misery

Commuters in London are facing travel misery with the entire London Underground network shut down by strikes.

Services were halted on Wednesday night after a walkout by Tube staff over pay and conditions. They will not resume until Friday morning.

The Tube dispute centres on night services, set to begin in September.

A separate walkout by First Great Western staff has halved high-speed services between London, the West of England and south Wales.
