Rush hour chaos on Stockholm underground

The Local has a story on Swedish union problems:
Wildcat strike action by train drivers threw Stockholm's underground system into chaos on Thursday morning. Many trains were prevented from leaving the depots in Högdalen in the south of the city and Vällingby in the north west.

At about 6.30am only 18 out of 55 trains were in operation. All lines were affected by cancellations.
Another great moment in socialist transportation.
