Train passengers left without dining-car facilities due to strike – archive, 1959

An unofficial strike by 130 dining car attendants in Manchester, due to start at midnight last night, is likely to deprive travellers between Manchester and London of their dining-car facilities to-day. The Manchester strikers have asked more than four hundred of their colleagues at Euston and King’s Cross to support them.
