Climate protesters Extinction Rebellion disrupt DLR train at Canary Wharf

Campaigners climbed on top of a train and glued themselves to the roof during a third day of climate change protests, which have caused serious disruption in London.

Two Extinction Rebellion demonstrators clambered aboard the carriage of a DLR train at Canary Wharf station in east London at around 11am on Wednesday.

Later in the day protesters gathered outside the north London home of Jeremy Corbyn. One of the demonstrators chained herself to the leader of the Opposition's garden fence with a bike lock.

More than 300 protesters have already been arrested this week following protests across central London.

Activists are demanding the government declare a climate emergency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2025.

‘We’re probably going to lose money today’

Sefan White, 24, who works for a company that produces bar snacks in sustainable packaging, was prevented from getting to work by the protesters.

“I’m devastated,” he said. “I’m trying to get to a job now. We've got to go round Camden on a 30-pub journey and we're going to be late now. We’re probably going to lose money today.

“They’ve had their picture, fair enough, that's all you need now. Why is he spending 15 minutes on top of the Tube? Explain that.”
