Winchester railway station, a normally busy hub for commuters travelling to London, was quiet this morning with only a handful of trains arriving.

More than 50,000 union members have walked out over demands for a 11 per cent pay rise as millions battled into work, were forced to work from home or unable to earn money at all this week.
