Train and London Underground strikes cause disruption for locals

We ask Londoners how they will feel about train and tube strikes over the Easter holidays

Transcript

00:00 We are just a few days away from the Easter holidays, with families across the capital

00:07 making plans to see relatives, but those travel itineraries could be thrown into chaos with

00:13 the announcement of rail strikes. Last week, Aslef announced tube drivers are set to walk

00:18 out over two days on April 8th and then again on May 4th, and have also revealed train drivers

00:25 at 16 train companies will also be taking rolling one day strikes from April 5th to

00:32 the 8th. But how will these strikes affect Londoners?

00:36 There are train strikes over the Easter holidays. Is that something that's going to affect you?

00:41 No. How do you feel about the train strikes? It doesn't actually affect me. I am travelling

00:46 over the Easter holidays, but I'll be going in my car. It's very inconvenient, but the

00:53 strikers have got an absolute massive point. The whole of the infrastructure of British

01:00 travel has been shafted by the Tory government, basically selling off the nation's infrastructure

01:10 to private investors. I think it should be re-nationalised, and I hope it will be. I

01:18 am fully in favour of the strikers and support them in their struggles.

01:25 I will be because it will affect work. I haven't actually checked out yet when they are. It

01:31 always affects, not always, I sometimes manage to miss it, but it generally affects me and

01:36 really screws up work. I'm not going to be affected by the strikes.

01:42 I'm sure a lot of people will be, and it will be really tough on them if they need to get

01:46 to see family and they can't. If people need to strike, then they need to strike, perhaps

01:54 not over Easter weekend.
