The Elizabeth line’s Bond Street stop has now opened
(Picture: Getty Images)Commuters across London are enduring travel chaos as nine out of the 11 Tube lines operated by Transport for London (TfL) were closed because of a 24-hour strike.
Passengers were urged to avoid the tube on Thursday and plan ahead, and many had to queue for long periods to get on packed buses instead.
The strike is the latest addition to a long-running dispute between TfL and staff unions over pay, pensions, working conditions and job cuts.
But, are the Elizabeth line and the London Overground trains affected? And which lines remain operational?
Is the Elizabeth line affected by the strikes?
The newly launched Elizabeth line is following a relatively normal schedule compared with other tube lines on Thursday, with TfL reporting “good service”.
However, it is important to note that services will not be stopping at the stations between Bond Street and Whitechapel after 10.30pm.
TfL is expecting the Elizabeth line services to remain extremely busy throughout the day.

Is the London Overground running on Thursday?
The London Overground is only partly suspended, with the majority of it remaining operational.
The TfL website advises that there are no Overground services on any of the routes between Liverpool Street and Enfield Town, Cheshunt or Chingford.
It also notes that services may be subject to last-minute changes including not stopping at certain Underground stations where workers are on strike and which are therefore shut for the day.
