Rail traffic in the UK is disrupted on Saturday on the third day of the railway workers' strike.
Britain's rail strike, which began on Tuesday and Thursday, is the biggest the country has seen in three decades.
The claims relate to wages, which do not follow the record inflation for 40 years observed in the United Kingdom.
Only one in five trains should run and half of the lines will be closed, according to traffic forecasts.
This is limited to a time slot from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Disruptions are still expected on Sunday.
