"London commuters are facing even more strike disruption as both the Tube and the Docklands Light railway are wiped out by staff walkouts. Buses were busier than usual and more passengers travelled on the Elizabeth Line and London Overground, which were not directly involved in the strike. There was also a huge increase in the number of people hiring bicycles to get around London."

Both Downing Street and Sadiq Khan have called on the RMT and Transport for London (TfL) to get back to the negotiating table to end the strike."
London commuters faced major disruption as Tube and Docklands Light Railway services were wiped out by staff walkouts. Buses experienced higher-than-normal passenger numbers. The Elizabeth Line and London Overground carried more passengers because they were not directly involved in the strike. Bicycle hire usage rose sharply as commuters sought alternatives to rail. Both Downing Street and Sadiq Khan urged the RMT and Transport for London (TfL) to return to negotiations to end the strike. The strike caused modal shifts across the capital and increased pressure on bus networks and alternative transport providers.
