A popular miniature railway has ground to a halt after its train staff went on strike. More than 40 volunteers at the much-loved tourist attraction are said to have launched the unlikely industrial action following a series of disputes with the new management. The railway in Poole Park, Dorset, has been closed for several weeks and is losing thousands of pounds in lost income. The volunteers, mostly retirees who act as train drivers, guards, engineers and ticket office clerks, walked out on April 25.
