what’s going on this morning?

Subway service did not resume until around 8am, with many lines still operating with severe delays as a ‘knock-on’ effect of Thursday’s strike.

Frustrated commuters report standing outside closed stations. Even if the subway does pass, there is little information about when it will reopen or an alternative route.

Long queues for buses formed on the second morning at major stations such as Liverpool Street and Victoria Station.
