People in London are experiencing a lot of problems with transportation as strike action stops the Underground. Transport for London’s (TfL) website shows no services are running on any Tube lines. 

TfL says all Tube lines are affected but there is a good service on the Elizabeth Line, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the London Overground. However Tube station closures(关闭) mean these services “will not be able to stop at those stations”, and passengers intending to change lines may not be able to do so either. Tram(有轨电车) and bus services are also reported to be busier than normal. Passengers are advised to allow more time for their journeys and check the latest information. People are also being encouraged to walk or cycle if they are able to.

Aslef district organiser Finn Brennan told the BBC outside Brixton station that he is “genuinely sorry for the people affected.” “We are prepared to negotiate and talk about changes, but our members are rightly not prepared to accept change being imposed.” He added that further strikes are “very likely”. They think staff “deserve decent pensions, job security and good working conditions, and they will fight tooth and nail to make sure that’s what they get”.

Tube and Elizabeth line services are expected to start much later than normal due to the previous strike. National rail strike action is also expected to have an impact in the capital, with a revised Elizabeth line timetable and possible further disruption to DLR, Elizabeth Line and London Overground services.

A spokesperson for the mayor of London said: “No one wants to see strikes, and the disruption across the country this week is particularly bad news for many of the capital’s businesses who are struggling with inflation(通货膨胀) and the cost of doing business.” TfL’s chief operating officer Glynn Barton apologised to customers and urged trade unions “to call off this action and continue to engage with us to avoid disruption to our customers”.
