Quote
The manager of a cafe in Bath has warned upcoming rail strikes will leave the business facing an uncertain future.

Cafe Au Lait has had to cut staff due to a drop-off in trade whenever railway workers take industrial action in their dispute with train operators.

It's located directly across from Bath Spa railway station and serves commuters and tourists coming into the city. But more than fourteen months on since strikes began, cafe staff are beginning to struggle.

This is a shame, as it is a nice cafe. There is a lot of competition in that area, with about 5 cafes along that short length of road opposite both bus and rail stations (including just round the corner into Manvers Street).
