As Londoners struggle to cross the capital to get home from work or attend Friday night plans during today’s Tube strike, here’s a full list of the status of every line on the network:

Good service.

Good service.

Good service on most routes. No service between Liverpool Street - Cheshunt / Chingford / Enfield Town due to strike action.

Minor delays.

Part suspended: a reduced service is operating between White City and West Ruislip / Ealing Broadway, between Liverpool Street and Hainault via Newbury Park and between Leytonstone and Epping approximately every 15 minutes. No service on the rest of the line due to strike action.

Part suspended: a reduced service is operating between West Ham and Dagenham East, approximately every 15 minutes. No service on the rest of the line due to strike action.

Part suspended: a reduced service is operating between Golders Green and Edgware and between East Finchley and High Barnet / Mill Hill East, approximately every five minutes.

All suspended.

Londoners have been posting about cycling, walking and even jogging to work today, in a bid to avoid the strike-decimated Tube network.

Jenni tweeted: “Ran 10 miles to work and said hi to the monkeys. A great way to avoid the tube strike madness.”

Meanwhile, London shop Decorexi reported: “London sounds different when public transport is off grid. #Chiswick surprisingly calm at the moment with traffic flowing well. Plenty of people out and about on foot and cycle lane being well used.”

RMT Union boss Micky Lynch has spoken out “the future of the pension scheme which is under threat” for striking workers today.

“There’s negotiatons going on between the government, treasury and Mayor Khan’s office about the future funding of London Underground. They’ve cut two billion pounds from the funding, and that has put at risk our members’ pensions,” he told LondonLive.

“They want to decimate the pension and make it into a completely different, cheaper scheme. That will make our members poorer in retirement and probably pay more while they’re working. There’s also threats to terms and conditions, and a threat of a loss of jobs.”

Mr Lynch said the RMT Union was “being excluded from talks”, adding that “offering our members terms and conditions as a hostage to get the funding of the railway and the bus services, the whole of TfL, pushed downwards”.

As the end of the working day approaches, eight of TfL’s lines, all Underground routes, remain completely out of action. They are: the Bakerloo, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Jubilee, Metropolitan, Piccadilly, Victoria and Waterloo & City Lines.

The Elizabeth Line and DLR are the only two TfL lines with a good service.

Meanwhile the London Overground has no service between Liverpool Street - Cheshunt / Chingford / Enfield Town due to strike action, but a good service on other areas of the line.

On the Central line a reduced service is operating between White City and West Ruislip, between Liverpool Street and Hainault via Newbury Park and between Leytonstone and Epping approximately every 15 minutes.

As with earlier, a reduced District Line service is operating between West Ham and Dagenham East, approximately every 15 minutes.

Saturday will see the end of the London Tube strike (with some knock-on effects expected to cause disruption first thing), and the beginning of the second RMT Union rail strike this week.

It’s expected to see only one fifth of services running across the UK, with large swathes of the country cut off entirely from the rail network.

Some companies have published emergency timetables with one hourly train on key routes, others have warned of just two or three services total on some routes. Meanwhile, some have simply said they will not be running a service. All, including Network Rail, have urged the public to avoid train travel for the duration of the 24-hour walkout.

But for absolutely essential journeys, which trains are set to run on Saturday? Here’s what we know so far.

Photos have emerged of London’s Tube stops and trains lying empty, or closed for the day, amid today’s RMT Union strike.

Having been warned vociferously to stay home and avoid train travel across town, few Londoners have been using the trickle of trains still running on the Central, Northern, District and Overground.

One image showed just one passenger in the carriage of a Central line train.

Travellers from London to Birmingham and Manchester who are struggling to find space on Avanti West Coast trains can instead enjoy first-class travel for the next four Friday evenings. A private operator is laying on a special train with a flat fare of £75.

The service is branded “The Friday Charter” and is run by Locomotive Services Group. The carriages are old British Rail Intercity Mk 3 stock, beloved by many rail enthusiasts for their comfort and panoramic windows. All the seating is three-abreast seating.

“Say goodbye to packed commuter trains and hello to luxurious leg room and cushioned comfort,” the operator says.

New working terms will be imposed on striking rail workers if they refuse to accept deals on the table, the transport secretary has threatened.

Grant Shapps stepped up his battle with the rail unions by revealing plans to use a section 188 order to end the disputes, saying: “That is the direction that this is moving in now.”

But one union rejected his claim that an 8 per cent pay rise is on offer, insisting the privatised rail firms have offered just 2 per cent – alongside job losses and pension cuts.

“Everything Grant Shapps does seems to be aimed at ramping up this dispute rather than resolving it,” said Luke Chester, from the Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association (TSSA) said.

Although most Tube lines are completely suspended today during the strike by London Underground workers, the Elizabeth line and DLR are both still running.

Both are operating a “good service” according to TfL.

Meanwhile, most of the London Overground is working, albeit with a reduced service on some routes and minor delays.

There is no service from Liverpool Street - Cheshunt / Chingford / Enfield Town.
