Normally bustling train stations across London are deserted at rush-hour, as Thursday’s strike action draws to a close.
RMT and TSSA members walked off the job, drastically reducing rail services across the country.
Any trains that are running will only operate until 6.30pm.
On Friday, strikes are planned among Tube, bus and Overground workers in London before a second day of rail strikes on Saturday.
The London Overground is running a reduced service, between 8am and 6pm, the Elizabeth line, District Line and Bakerloo Line will also run reduced services. The remainder of the Tube is not expected to be impacted, though services are expected to be busier than usual. On Friday, Tube, London Overground and bus strikes will affect most TfL services.
Striking rail workers are “dug in” for a long battle which could drag on when Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak take over as Prime Minister, RMT chief Mick Lynch said.
Mr Lynch told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “Our members are dug in to this dispute. We told them it was not going to be a sprint, it is going to be more of a long term issue.”
