LOXDON, 20th January. The railway gtrjke began at midnight. ; Although 0- cause of much inconvenience, the loss is regarded less seriously than the 1919 strike, in which ail the railway workers participated. If 40,000 drivers and firemen belonging to Mr. Thomas's union remain at work as officially instructed, the companies will be able to run reduced services. Motor vehicles of' all kinds will !.e employed in supplementary services. Several companies intend transforming hundreds of motor vehicles, especially lorries, into motor railers by means of flanged wheale. •
Thousands of provincial visitors to London returned home by the last trains to-day. The strike affects a relatively small proportion of London's suburban passenger traffic, as the tubes, trams, and buses continue.1 Hundreds id motor-buses will be employed to bring London business men residing i n "the outer suburbs and at the seaside.
