Chairman Peter Hendy of UK rail manager Network Rail warns of extremely busy trains. “This is the biggest public transport commitment since the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. We are working closely with all rail operators.”

Biden will also meet new British Prime Minister Liz Truss in New York on Wednesday. The meeting was previously scheduled for Sunday at Truss’ official residence on London’s Downing Street, but was postponed for unknown reasons.
