It is a strike day for the London Underground, the second since the beginning of this week, and it is causing severe inconvenience to those moving to the British capital. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transportation (RMT) union crossed their arms for 24 hours in a dispute over working conditions and pensions that led to the complete suspension or severe reduction of services on the Tube lines. Faced with the lockouts, Transport for London (TfL) advised passengers to work from home or go to work independently (on foot or by bicycle) wherever possible. As happens in these cases, however, the stations still get crowded, especially for the many commuters who arrive in central London from other areas of the capital or from the suburbs, and who are looking for a bus or taxi to reach the office or other destinations. . Many of them protest, and their testimonies are collected by the UK media. Like that of Denise Williams, 46, who she called her journey to reach her mother in the hospital “a real nightmare”.
