All London Underground lines have now re-opened but severe disruption is reported across the network.

This week's industrial action saw all Tube lines at least part suspended and caused widespread chaos.There have been huge queues at bus and taxi ranks as people switched to other forms of public transport to get to work

Andy Lord, Transport for London's chief operating officer, said: "Services will be severely impacted until mid-morning on Friday because of a number of factors, including the placement of drivers and trains following a day without service. "I apologise to customers for this and understand they will be frustrated by this strike action, but urge them not to take it out on those who are trying to help.

"We haven't proposed any changes to pensions or terms and conditions, and nobody has lost or will lose their jobs because of the proposals we have set out, so this action is completely unnecessary. Long queue of taxis at Kings Cross, no one queuing to take one. It’s all gone very quiet here after an initial rush about 7. Perhaps most people have decided to either work from jobs or come in late? ⁦
