Now trains are hit in Crowdstrike outage as ticket machines and scanners go down at London stations on one of year’s busiest travel days – while families queue at Dover and 28,000 Brits battle to fly home with another 45 UK flights axed today
Travel disruption is continuing today as trains are hit in Crowdstrike outage with ticket machines and scanners going down at London stations.
The meltdown chaos comes after the world’s biggest IT disaster struck, with thousands of Brits stranded abroad.
It happened on one of year’s busiest travel days, with families now desperately queuing at Dover Port in an attempt to get home.
After another 45 flights were cancelled today, 28,000 Brits are fighting to get a seat on a plane.
Some passengers stuck overseas have been told they won’t be able to get home until Wednesday at the latest after 50,000 flights going to, from or flying within the UK were hit by the disruption.
The catastrophic IT failure impacted 300million computers worldwide and it could take weeks for all of them to be fixed.
Experts also warned the error by security firm CrowdStrike which hit Microsoft systems will cost the global economy trillions.
