24-hour walkout ends but major disruption continues across London Underground

A 24-hour Tube strike which caused suspensions across the network has officially ended - but disruption is expected to continue into the afternoon.

Tube drivers who are members of the RMT union are returning to work following the first of two walkouts this week.

The strike meant there was no Tube service until shortly after 7am, with most lines either fully suspended or badly disrupted through morning rush hour.

It comes after the strike either closed or partly suspended a number of Tube lines on Tuesday, with others facing severe or minor delays.

Commuters are also facing a second 24-hour walkout starting at midday on Thursday.

Follow the latest updates below...

There is currently no service on London Trams between East Croydon and Reeves Corner due to an obstruction on the track.

There are minor delays on the rest of the line.

The Bakerloo line is now running again between Harrow & Wealdstone and Queens Park, albeit with severe delays.

The first of six planned RMT strikes has now officially ended.

Services should begin to recover shortly, but TfL has said this will take some time, with disruption likely until the evening.

The 24 hour walkout will end at 12pm today, and so services should begin to recover soon, before reach normal levels in the early afternoon.

Delays should ease, and the Circle and Waterloo & City lines are expected to open.

Disruption between between Moorgate and Welwyn Garden City
An object has been caught on the overhead electric wires between Alexandra Palace and Potters Bar meaning some lines are blocked, which is affecting some Great Northern services between Moorgate and Welwyn Garden City.

Train services between these stations will be running non stop between Alexandra Palace and New Barnet, with Oakleigh Park and New Southgate not being served.

Lines between London and Peterborough have now reopened after the earlier incident in which a person was hit by a train.

Trains are now running between these stations, but some services may still be cancelled or delayed, with disruption expected into the afternoon.

A number of Grand Central, Great Northern, LNER, and Thameslink services may be affected - please check your journey before you travel.

An E-scooter and e-bike provider has said that they saw a record number of rides during the first day of the strikes yesterday.

With two hours until the strikes end, here are the statuses of all major Tube lines:
While all London Underground lines are affected by the Tube strikes, there are still plenty of ways to get around the city if you plan ahead, and several services will continue to run as normal.

The Standard has pulled together a guide detailing how to avoid the worst of the chaos amid the strikes this week.
