While the rest of the country just escaped a rail strike, Londoners again are enduring 24 hours of Tube lines either closed or part-suspended. The shutters were up at stations across the capital, with pickets of varying sizes outside, and commuters in a noticeably quieter city once more breathing in and squeezing aboard buses, or working from home if they could.
The stoppage is the latest in a series of strikes by members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union in a pensions and station job cuts dispute with Transport for London.
