I'm at Euston today for the latest national rail strike. I've counted that it's the 16th month since the strikes began. I spoke to Mick Whelan, general secretary of the Aslef trade union. He says that national rail workers have run out of capacity and considering that they have gone for five years without a pay rise the strikes will continue until they get what they want.
