Overview

• Parts of the Central, Northern and District lines operated on Wednesday, but most of the Underground remained suspended and the DLR was only partly running.
• Transport for London expects to run more trains on Thursday and says a full Tube service is not likely before around 8am on Friday.
• Buses, the Elizabeth line and London Overground have taken about 1 million extra journeys a day, with some Elizabeth line services skipping central stops during peaks.
• The Centre for Economics and Business Research estimates a direct £230m hit to London’s economy, as O2 data shows footfall down 16% in central areas and 31% at Canary Wharf.
• The RMT has rejected a 3.4% pay offer and wants progress toward a 32‑hour week, which TfL says is unaffordable, while RMT chief Eddie Dempsey says £72,000 does not buy a home in London and warns more action could follow.
