Very unlike the RMT▸ (National Union of Rail, Maritime & Transport Workers) of course, but working from home seems a good option tomorrow.......

Following links - to give you an idea of what's running today (in colour) and what's not (greyed out)



Strikes me as unfortunate that the rail services from West Hamstead and Finsbury Park via Kings Cross, Farringdon and Blackfriars to Elephant and Castle and London Bridge to not show on the map ...

All lines suspended at present.

At 08:15 ... TfL» (Transport for London - about) reports good service on all lines except

Quote
Metropolitan Line: Minor delays between Moor Park and Chesham due to train cancellations. The next southbound departure from Chesham will be at 08.40. GOOD SERVICE on the rest of the line.

Central Line: Minor delays between West Ruislip and North Acton, eastbound only, due to an earlier signal failure. GOOD SERVICE on the rest of the line.

Noting Chesham - jealous.  A town with about the same population as my home town of Melksham, but rather more trains.  At 08:15, the next train from Chesham to their biggest destination was 08:40; from Melksham, the next train to our most popular destination is not scheduled until 10:02, and that's the norm!

This is comparing apples and oranges, or perhaps milk and cheese…  Grin

Melksham is in Wiltshire - its chalk and cheese here!
