Has todays (Tues) rail strike been a pain for you or made no difference ?
And ditto the planned strikes for Thurs and Sat ? although there are planned talks for Weds.

    The strikes have made no difference to me personally but one of my family has had to work from home today, not too much of a sacrifice actually. 

    I just hope that the industrial action doesn't spread to too many other sectors, the country has yet to fully recover from the effects of the pandemic not to mention the fuel crisis etc.

    It doesn't affect me them striking or at least not in an obvious way. Someone seems to strike every year and the reasons aren't as publicised as the fall out so people get annoyed at them for striking rather than understand why they are doing so.

    The strike itself doesn`t affect me, but the "person" who called the strike affects me massively in that he makes my blood boil.

    Not for me although I was going to catch the train to go to this nice restaurant for lunch but that’s been postponed due to my good friend being ill. 
    My brother usually catches the train to work but he is happy getting taxis for now- they’re very cheap where I live luckily.

    Hope this strike gets resolved ASAP. Rail passenger traffic has definitely lowered due to many people working from home, it’ll be sad to see that get bigger.

    It's not affecting me too much, as I only use the train to travel for pleasure really. I know quite a few people who can't work from home who are struggling to get to work, however, which I imagine must be quite stressful!
