Commuters in London are being hit by fresh wave of disruption as Tube strikes disrupt the capital’s transport network once again.
Drivers belonging to Aslef are not taking part in the strike, meaning most Tube lines are expected to remain running, although services are likely to be reduced.
The Overground, Elizabeth line and DLR will still be running, but services are expected to be very busy, with crowding likely throughout the day.
A 24-hour walkout on Tuesday brought travel disruption for thousands of commuters, with most lines partially or fully suspended at some point during the day.
