Train drivers in 13 British train operators went on strike on Wednesday, causing service cancellations across the country.

The industrial action, organised by the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF), is the latest in a series of strikes in the rail sector amid bitter disputes between trade unions and the government and companies over pay, job cuts, and changes to terms and conditions.
