Commuters travelling in London are experiencing "severe disruption" as Tube workers strike. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) Union have walked out for 48 hours over plans to close all ticket offices at a cost of 960 jobs. Transport for London said 50% of services were running compared to about 40% during the last walkout. The strike is due to end at 20:59 BST on Wednesday but disruption may continue into Thursday morning.

Down The Drain at Bank station. The Waterloo & City Line, as it is officially known, is primarily a rush-hour commuter service providing a direct link between the City of London, and Waterloo Station. The line, opened in 1898, is totally underground, passes below the Thames, and serves only the 2 stations at Waterloo and Bank (originally City) with a journey time of 4 minutes. The photograph, taken in 1987, shows a train at Bank station, formed of 1940 stock in Network SouthEast livery. Following railway privatisation, responsibility for the line passed to London Underground.
