Rail passengers contended with travel disruption on Wednesday morning as thousands of workers strike.

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union at Network Rail and 14 train operators mounted picket lines outside rail stations on Wednesday amid a row over jobs, pay, pensions, and conditions.

It comes just weeks after the biggest rail strike in over 30 years brought the nation to a standstill.

Only around one in five trains are running on Wednesday, on around half the network, with some areas having no trains all day.

Train passengers will also face disruption on Thursday morning due to a later start to services as employees return to duties.

As the disruption continues, ITV News brings you the strike in pictures.
