[Thousands of train passengers faced misery
during Monday morning's rush hour as
staff on South Western Railway
began their 27-day strike.
The walkout, which will affect travel
until New Year's Day,
is the longest stretch of industrial
action against a major rail operator
in living memory.
It comes after South Western Railway
and the Rail, Maritime and
Transport union failed to reach
an agreement in the long-running
dispute over guards on trains.]
