“We need this government to wake upâ€

The first of three national rail strikes has hit commuters across the UK. Only 20% of trains are running after staff walked out at midnight.

The strike action by members of the RMT union is over pay and redundancies. The government has dismissed calls to intervene in the dispute.

John Watson is the Regional Organiser for RMT Midlands.
