Travel chaos | Rail strikes are proving that our adaptation to hybrid work must improve

Workers hoping to commute via rail this week will have likely been met with chaos, as at some points over the last few days, just one in five trains across the nation were in operation.

Whilst some areas of the nation have been completely cut off from normal operations, rail union RMT implored passengers to only travel ‘when absolutely necessary’ throughout the disruption, likely forcing many commuters to stay at home, instead of risk trying to access the office.

The crippled rail network, which is a result of industrial strike action, looks to continue its dramatically reduce timetable in the coming days, mirroring widespread strikes earlier in the year and likely continuing sporadically throughout 2022.

Of course, this has huge ramifications for fully office-based and hybrid workers, who may find that their journey to and from the office is severely impacted.
