5-day rail strike means misery for many London commuters
Rail workers form a picket line opposite Victoria Station during a strike in London, Monday, Aug. 8, 2016.

But train operator Govia Thameslink said the strike was “completely unjustified.” It said it hoped to run 60 percent of scheduled services during the walkout. (Jonathan Brady/PA via AP)
