Britain's largest city has been plunged into transport chaos as Tube workers begin their first full-stage walkout since 2023.
London Underground staff have started striking this morning over an RMT-led dispute over pay and conditions which will see the city's main mode of transport grind to a halt over the coming week.
The union had demanded that its workers receive an increase in cash as well as a reduction in working time from 35 hours to 32 hours per week.
But Transport for London (TfL), who have since tabled a 3.4 per cent pay rise offer to the union's members, said reducing working hours would be both 'unaffordable and impractical'.
With travel disarray in sight, Nick Dent, TfL's director of customer operations for the Tube, issued the RMT with a plea to stop the strikes.
