Overview

• Most Underground lines remain suspended on day three, with only patchy reopenings and long queues spilling onto buses and busy roads.
• The Elizabeth line is operating but has skipped central stops at times — including express running between Canary Wharf and Paddington — creating severe crowding at hubs such as Paddington.
• DLR services are heavily disrupted today with a Bank–Shadwell shutdown and severe delays, and TfL says there will be no DLR service on Thursday.
• RMT chief Eddie Dempsey urges intervention from Mayor Sadiq Khan over pay and shift‑work recognition, while TfL denies any plan to close ticket offices and the union rejects reports of demands for attraction discounts.
• Virgin Media O2 data shows central London footfall down 16% versus last week, and TfL expects Tube services to start late on Friday with a full timetable by around midday.
