The city was almost trainless. Travellers from London to Ramsgate. Margate and other Kent coast resorts were warned by notices on stations that there might be a “Sunday only” strike by railway workers. Railway officials said 150 to 200 railwaymen in one South London depot were not working. There was a limited service on some lines. The strike was due to dissatisfaction with pay and working conditions. The railwaymen decided to continue to stay out on the bank holiday to-day.
