Selfish Rail Strikers

London Underground Rail Strikers attempted to make a point by calling a strike on a day when thousands of football fans would have been trying to make their way to Wembley to see England play Andorra in a World Cup qualifying match on Wednesday.
Despite talk about playing the game behind closed doors, the game went ahead as normal and 58,000 fans made it to Wembley. England players and manager Fabio Capello paid tribute to the fans who made the extra effort to cheer their team on to victory as England score six goals without reply.
Members of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) returned to work at 7pm Thursday, and a fresh round of talks is expected in bid to avert further action. That will be little consolation to those who failed to make the game and one can't help feeling disppointed for any youngsters who may have missed out on their first trip to Wembley.
