For the second day running, getting into work has been an ordeal for French commuters, as transport unions pursue a strike. Nationwide, slightly more trains were running than yesterday but there is still major disruption. Paris metro, bus and tram services have once again been hit.
A government plan to cut back on generous public sector pensions has triggered the open-ended stoppage. "It just gets tiring because at the end of the day, it is only fair that everyone has the same working conditions," said one frustrated passenger at Saint-Lazare railway station in Paris.
