So here we are again another strike.
Looking at Tfl status most lines are still running some still have a good service! - I seem to recall the last strike most lines had fallen apart by this time, I wonder if the strike is weakening?
Re buses - Are there any extras out this evening?

Most of the lines now have severe delays and Metropolitan is part suspended from Harrow-on-the-Hill to Aldgate. And this all because of the Strike.

Most lines have now formally called it a night. According to the live tube tracker (if to be believed) last few trains on several lines are heading for their respective termini. Picc/Northern/Vic seem to be hanging on for now.
Did not see a single non-TfL extra bus in central this afternoon/evening.
Edit: with regards to extra buses, Ensign's facebook page now has details. None today, plenty tomorrow.

Last handful of trains on the Northern Line heading home, a single straggler on the final stretch of the Piccadilly to Cockfosters, limited service still running both ways on the Vic. All other lines suspended. Has certainly held out a lot later than last time.

I note TfL are saying 250 extra buses - IIRC that's about 50 more than usual so I guess the school holidays provide some extra flexibility in both London fleets and for operators outside London who are contracted in to help.

With the exception of inner ring road traffic, there seems to be better this time around (not that it wasn't last month).
