UK: Fuel strike begins to hit supply

A strike by hundreds of Shell tanker drivers has begun to hit fuel supply in parts of England, Wales and Scotland.

Demand was up 25% entering the strike’s second day, although only just over 1% of petrol stations have closed because of shortages, the government says.

BBC News website readers have reported supply problems in Leicester, Cambridge, the Wirral, Cornwall, and parts of Scotland and Wales.

… A number of petrol stations in the Strathspey area of Scotland, along the A9, are reporting that they have run out of diesel.

In particular, garages in Aviemore and Newtonmore have run out and one site has started rationing. One service station manager in Ayr has also reported he has run out of diesel.
