London Underground hit by strikes

The London Underground network has been plunged into chaos as drivers walk out from midday Tuesday, with a second strike scheduled for Thursday.

Transport for London has warned of severe delays and partial suspensions across multiple lines, urging travelers to seek alternative routes.

RMT union bosses claim the proposed schedule changes threaten working conditions, while Mayor Sadiq Khan has faced criticism for failing to prevent the misery for millions of commuters.

The timing of the strikes has been particularly impactful, coinciding with a busy week of events in the capital.
