Londoners are facing more misery across the capital today as the second of two Tube strikes has begun.

Today’s strike kicked off just after midnight and is expected to run through to 11.59pm tonight, bringing disruption on all London Underground lines.

Get used to hearing the words ‘suspended’ and ‘severe delays’ this morning – six lines are completely or partly shut down, while nine are delayed.

The June strikes have gone ahead after a stalemate in talks between the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union and TfL. The ongoing dispute is over a condensed working week, which RMT is saying would impact drivers’ wellbeing.

TfL said the fact that the strikes were going ahead was ‘bitterly disappointing’ but added that it would aim to run at least half of Tube services.

Four days of walk-outs were called off at the eleventh hour last month.
