Rush hour chaos as Central Line tube staff goes on strike

A 24-hour strike is taking place on the Central and Waterloo & City lines on 7 November, with limited or no service across both lines.

The Central line will resume at around 5.30am on Thursday 8 November.

During the walkout, Central line tickets are being accepted on London Buses, London Overground, London DLR, TfL Rail and Greater Anglia services.

London mayor Sadiq Khan has called on the unions to end the "unnecessary" Central line strike happening today.

He says that since he became mayor, the number of strike days has fallen by 65 per cent.

Others weren't so sure, with many responding to Khan's tweet asking him to resign.
