RMT have called another strike across the tube network yesterday.
The strike, which commenced at 9:30pm last night, is expected to last until 11:00pm on Wednesday night.
“DLR, London Overground, trams and other rail services will be operating as normal,” TfL have said in a press release.
One member of staff, who wishes to remain anonymous, said, “The strike causes inconvenience but you have to understand it from the staff’s point of view.”
There is expected to be no service on the Central Line or on the Waterloo and City line. TfL expect to have limited service on other lines between certain stops.
Problems have been experienced this morning with one girl walking to Tottenham Hale station in Haringey to find it closed and so she had to get two buses in order for her to get to work this morning. She said, “It’s annoying but I have to get to work.”
Twitter users have expressed their opinion with one user, @CalumSPlath, tweeting, “Been on public transport for two hours and still not close to work. TfL management, I’m not your biggest fan right now. #tubestrike.”
TfL have advised customers to regularly check their website and to keep updated on their travel arrangements and allow plenty of time to travel.
TfL are operating more buses as well as river bus services in order to make travelling as easy as possible. They have forewarned that travelling will be busy and so cycling and walking may be more practical for some people.
