Tube Trains Strike

London Underground staff walked off their posts on Wednesday to protest plans to run Tube trains all night at weekends, the second shutdown of the British capital's subway in under a month.

Train drivers' union Aslef said on Monday it had called a second 24-hour strike on the London Underground rail network for next month over plans to introduce a new night service.

London's roads, buses and overland trains struggled to cope in today's morning rush hour as commuters battled into work in the face of London Underground's first strike shutdown since 2002.

London commuters crammed onto trains and buses on Wednesday as the second day of a strike by Underground train workers halved the level of services across the city, with unions accusing transport bosses of endangering the safety of the public.

London Underground train workers were staging their second 48-hour strike this year on Tuesday in protest at job cuts and office closures in a dispute that is expected to cost businesses millions of pounds as commuters struggle to reach their work.

Workers on London's Underground train system kicked off a 48-hour strike at 9:00 pm (2100 GMT) on Tuesday, threatening chaos for commuters on Wednesday and Thursday.
