The city has been quiet today as people listened to warnings to work from home if possible. AliceBhand travelled on the Elizabeth line. More here:

Rail workers picketed outside Victoria Station

Footfall in central London at lunchtime was 27% lower than last Tuesday and in city centres outside of the capital it was down by 11.2%, retail analysts Springboard said.In contrast, footfall in outer London and market towns was less impacted, down 6.2% and 2% respectively, reflecting increasing numbers of people working from home, it added.

Although the strike was planned, some people have been taken by surprise by it and arrived at Tube stations hoping to travel. Christine Peters, who is visiting London from Australia said the strike was "frustrating". "As tourists we can't really go anywhere other than where we can walk to.Many commuters who turned to their cars endured long delays.

A walk from the British Library to Euston station - some trains running here - a few passengers trying their luck. Roads & buses seem ok - people heeding the advice & not travelling ?

Only way to tackle the strikes is to fire all those who went on strike.

Really fed up of tube strikes, it's political. Khan useless as always.

Spot on from the workers. I stand with them

TfL and RMTunion should be disgusted with their employees/union members for holding a city hostage because cleaners think they deserve better pay! basicwagesforbasicjobs

✊🏾✊🏼✊🏻✊✊🏿

AliceBhand TfL staff who went on strike are basically terrorists and should be forced to forfeit their pay if they wish to continue their strike, or be fired! basicwageforbasicjobs

AliceBhand It’s sad that businesses are being hurt by the strikes when they’re already struggling after covid.

AliceBhand Glad I paid for you to get a tube. Also the city has been empty since the Chinese man made virus paid for by US funding in a French built lab popped up.
