With last-ditch talks between the transport union and the rail operator collapsing on Monday night, hundreds of trains ground to a halt for the first of three planned days of strikes. Most trains will also probably be halted on Thursday and Saturday, with disruptions rippling across the system for the entire week.
Damn, just damn! Heading into the Independence Day weekend!
