Trains were stacked up in the sidings at Ely railway station in Cambridgeshire as another national strike by rail workers goes ahead after members of the UK’s largest rail union rejected a pay offer.

But RMT union boss Mick Lynch described the deal as "substandard", as 63.6 per cent of members who voted rejected the deal.
