4-day strike by British union/London Underground completely shuts down

The London Underground was almost completely shut down this Monday, the first of four days of a union strike.

This is disrupting travel for millions of people in the UK capital. The Transport for London website and app have also been down, as commuters and travellers look for alternative routes.

Buses, trams, Overground services and the Elizabeth Line are still running, but there are too many queues to get on. Ride-sharing service Uber has warned of rising fares as demand surges.

Around 10,000 members of the RMT, the national union of rail, maritime and transport workers in the United Kingdom, began a four-day industrial strike on Monday.
