August 1911: A Railway Strike Brings Holiday Plans to a Halt This evocative photograph captures the chaos and disruption caused by the national railway strike of August 1911, an event that brought the travel plans of thousands of holidaymakers to a grinding halt. The image shows crowds of people trying to escape London, with some opting for the Margate steamers at London Bridge, while others wait for the occasional train at Liverpool Street Station. The scene at the Thames is a stark contrast to the usual hustle and bustle of holiday season, as people seek alternative means of transportation to reach their destinations. The impact of the strike was felt far and wide, with reports of violence and vandalism at stations across the country. In Llanelli, Wales, six people were tragically killed and nineteen were injured during riots that saw trains smashed and windows shattered. The strike, which lasted for several days, caused widespread disruption and hardship for those planning to travel, and served as a reminder of the power of organized labor and the challenges of managing a complex transportation network. This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a poignant snapshot of a pivotal moment in British history, and serves as a reminder of the far-reaching consequences of industrial action.
