Thousands of train drivers in the U.K. have walked off the job in a 24-hour strike over jobs, pay and conditions, thwarting services across much of the country.
Aslef, Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen members are pictured on a picket line at Willesden Junction station as members of the drivers union at nine train operators walk out for 24 hours over pay, in London, Saturday, Aug. 13, 2022. Thousands of U.K. train drivers walked off the job Saturday in a strike over jobs, pay and conditions, scuppering services across much of the country.

Unions accuse Britain's Conservative government of preventing train companies — which are privately owned but heavily regulated — from making a better offer.
