London strikes latest: Commuters face miserable rush hour journeys amid cancellations and services finishing early

London rail commuters are facing a miserable rush hour journey home as limited services finish early amid strike action.

Members of Aslef and the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) have walked out for a second day this week in a long-running dispute over pay and conditions.

Action by Aslef, which is seeking a pay deal that recognises the cost of living crisis, affected 14 train companies on Friday.

No services are running on Southeastern, Thameslink and Southern - all key London commuter routes.

Greater Anglia, Great Western Railway (GWR), Stansted Express and LNER are operating amended timetables from London stations, with some final trains leaving as early as 7pm.

GWR services between London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads will finish at 7.30pm while LNER’s final train to York from London King’s Cross leaves at 7.06pm.

Greater Anglia is only operating one train per hour between London Liverpool Street and Norwich, Colchester, Cambridge and Southend Victoria. Last services will finish earlier than usual.
