In other news, music fans headed to this year’s Glastonbury Festival may have to reconsider their travel plans as national rail strikes were confirmed last week for three days in late June.

The RMT union announced that “over 50,000 railway workers will walkout as part of 3 days of national strike action later this month, in the biggest dispute on the network since 1989”. The nationwide strikes are due to take place on June 21, 23 and 25.
