Your support makes all the difference.Ahead of the Tube strikes which started last night, Transport for London announced the services it planned to run during this week’s 48-hour walk-out.
This week’s strike started at 9.30pm yesterday, with services not returning to normal until Friday morning.
After failing to be averted by last-ditch talks, the daily commute threatens to turn into a nightmare for millions. One blogger, Ian Mansfield (@IanVisits), has even produced a handy, modified Tube map to show which Tube Lines will be affected (pictured above, which you can click to enlarge. People are advised to check the TfL website though).
The Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) and Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) have called strikes in response to the Government’s plans to revolutionise the London Underground's ticketing service, which will incorporate the shutting down of ticket offices and the loss of 950 jobs.
TFL have said there will be disruption to journeys today and Thursday, when Tube services will run from around 7am to 11pm. There will be travel ambassadors at stations helping with alternative routes, but all lines are expected to be much busier than usual.
