Travelers Face Major Disruption on London Trains: Damage to Overhead Electric Wires Causes Delays
London commuters are facing a major disruption on trains between London Paddington, Heathrow Airport, and Reading, with National Rail confirming that no trains are currently operating on the route. The issue has been caused by damage to the overhead electric wires on the line, causing significant delays and cancellations.
According to Great Western Railway, the disruption is expected to last all day, with alternative routes available for some travelers. However, passengers are advised to check before starting their journeys to avoid any inconvenience.
Meanwhile, in Metro Vancouver, transit workers represented by CUPE Local 4500 have begun job action on Saturday, with over 180 transit supervisors, engineers, and maintenance workers refusing overtime as of 8 a.m. The union claims that the job action, which follows a 72-hour strike notice on Wednesday, has been taken as a last resort after talks with their employer, the Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC), broke down.
