TIA for any info.

Recent experience is that the strike was 100% solid. Shank's pony was
indeed a reliable, trouble-free mode of transport for short distances.
It is possible that ASLEF will not participate in next week's strikes, in which
case things might be a little different. If you know you can comfortably walk
the distances you have in mind, venture forth!
