Striking rail workers have gathered outside Swindon station yet again as the bitter dispute over job security, pay and working conditions continue.

Members of the Aslef and the RMT Union have walked out causing huge disruption for travellers going through Swindon.

40,000 RMT members who work for Network Rail have also walked out effectively shutting the railway.

GWR have urged passengers to only travel by train if necessary, this is due to trains finishing at 6:30pm this evening.

This is because there are hardly any drivers available to run a full timetable service  and the lack of available staff.

As a result, travellers have had to find alternative means of getting around.

Northampton fans travelling to Swindon to see their team play the Reds would have been affected.

More disruption on the railway is set to take place in the coming weeks.

Members of the Aslef Union will walk out on Wednesday, resulting in many trains being cancelled.

On Saturday, October 8, the RMT Union will go on strike, along with workers from National Rail.

This will mean hardly any train services will go on ahead.

Adver photographer Dave Cox went to Swindon station this morning where he took photos of the rail workers on strike.
