Tube strikes: Underground lines running again but with delays

The London Underground is slowly back and running after yesterday’s strike action, with six lines experiencing severe delays.

At 10am on Friday morning only three lines had a good service after this year’s sixth 24-hour walkout by Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) members.

The London Overground has severe delays and there were reports of queues for buses as all services were suspended during the first part of rush hour.

It comes after about 10,000 members of the RMT union walked out on Thursday in an ongoing dispute over pensions and the loss of up to 600 station staff posts.

Tube passenger numbers on Thursday were down 86% compared to last week.

Transport for London said: “Disruption will continue into the morning of Friday November 11, with affected services expected to return to a normal service by mid-morning.”

What lines are delayed?

Bakerloo line: There are severe delays between Queen’s Park and Harrow & Wealdstone and minor delays on the rest of the line.

Central line: There are severe delays between Leytonstone and Hainault via Newbury Park and minor delays on the rest of the line.

District line: There are severe delays between Earl’s Court and Upminster with good service on the rest of the line.

Piccadilly line: There are severe delays between Acton Town - Uxbridge / Heathrow and minor delays on the rest of the line.

Jubilee line: There are severe delays on the entire line.

Metropolitan line: There are severe delays on the entire line.

London Overground: There is no service between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction due to a signal failure at Clapham Junction.

There are severe delays between Euston and Watford Junction due to an earlier customer incident.

A good service on all other routes.

There is good service on Northern, Victoria, Waterloo & City, Elizabeth Lines and the DLR.

A £3.6bn government bailout of TfL in August required the transport body to develop options around pensions.

The RMT says one reason it is taking industrial action is due to "detrimental pension changes".

Transport for London (TfL) says there are no plans to alter pensions.
