TfL advice is to avoid travelling today before 08:00 As at 07:00 all lines remain suspended So presumably all lines will resume full service within next 60 minutes On Tuesday June 7: Some stations may still be closed at the beginning of the day If you need to travel, try to do it after 08:00 tfl.gov.uk/campaign/tube-strike

The trouble was the vast majority of stations were still shut, so the trains were in effect ghost trains. Also be prepared for round 2 guys; boxing gloves are on. Fresh strike action announced on London UndergroundRMT has confirmed 10,000 of its members are set to walk out on June 21 in major action that is expected to cause huge disruption across the Tube networkwww.standard.co.uk/news/london/fresh-strike-action-announced-on-london-underground-b1004683.html

I was born in 79 and been told how bad things were that year with strikes! It seems we are heading into a summer of discontent! We are also fast approaching £2 a liter for petrol which is putting pressure on suppliers and cost of goods.

I have to say I'm glad I don't drive £2 is really steep

I remember combined Underground and bus strike back in the 80's, but never recall both rail and Underground. That would be some fiasco if it goes ahead

That would be some fiasco if it goes ahead I remember 1989 having bus, tube and what was then British Rail all on strike the same day (actually approaching thirty-three years this month).

Up the workers who do nothing but cause misery to actual hard working Londoners who probably don't even get pay rises themselves but would probably result in people dead if they don't turn up to work, or them losing their job.

Railway workers are also "actual hard working Londoners" - it's on those other workers you mention then to join a union and get fighting for a better deal then. You can't just sit and wait for the goodwill of bosses(next joke) or this Tory government. I'll be severely disrupted by these strikes but I'm a member of a union myself & vote accordingly when it comes to industrial action and pay deals.
