:00:59. > :01:03.Although for millions of commuters it's anything but -
:01:04. > :01:07.trying to get home after a chaotic start to the week.
:01:08. > :01:09.And still to come this week, more strikes on Southern rail
:01:10. > :01:13.and industrial action by BA cabin crew.
:01:14. > :01:16.Today's action affected much of the Tube network and closed
:01:17. > :01:19.all underground stations in central London.
:01:20. > :01:21.We start tonight with our Transport correspondent Tom Edwards
:01:22. > :01:39.This was a long queues, delays and the disruption. This was Waterloo.
:01:40. > :01:43.Commuters switched to the buses. It is a nightmare because I'm trying to
:01:44. > :01:49.get to work and I will get in later. Any sympathy for the strike? Some, I
:01:50. > :01:54.know what they are after. It seems to be OK, what they want, but it is
:01:55. > :01:59.wrong affecting people trying to get to work. At Finsbury Park,
:02:00. > :02:02.frustration. Many did not know about the strike, and they could not get
:02:03. > :02:12.onto the packed buses. Horrible, horrible. I have been waiting years
:02:13. > :02:17.since 530. You have not been here since then, have you? Yes. I have
:02:18. > :02:25.not been able to get on yet, disability. At Clapham Junction, the
:02:26. > :02:29.stations struggled to cope. Commuters switch to the trains. At
:02:30. > :02:35.one point overcrowding meant it had to be evacuated. And this was
:02:36. > :02:39.Victoria. To be honest, I do not know why they are striking but it is
:02:40. > :02:45.affecting me. I am just trying to be on time. The roads took the brunt
:02:46. > :02:50.with average speed dropping to two miles an hour in some areas as old
:02:51. > :02:55.heritage buses were brought back into service to try and help. The
:02:56. > :03:00.Thames Clippers on the Ripper coped well, but this was structured. It is
:03:01. > :03:08.not our fault, we are paying money, OK? We should not have to walk or
:03:09. > :03:12.run. This was the bus queue at Liverpool Street and that stretched
:03:13. > :03:17.around the station. While many took to two wheels and cycled, the bike
:03:18. > :03:22.hire scheme did have some glitches. This was elephant and Castle. This
:03:23. > :03:27.dispute goes back to 2015 and the closure of all London Underground
:03:28. > :03:32.ticket offices and the loss of 838 jobs. Abundant underground now
:03:33. > :03:35.admits more staff are required on the Tube but the sticking point and
:03:36. > :03:43.the reason for the strike is how many? At King's Cross, Mark Hughes
:03:44. > :03:50.for cabs and buses, there were some Tube teams but not many. Is this the
:03:51. > :03:56.24-hour strike? I do not support it, it is ridiculous. They have to do
:03:57. > :04:00.what they have to do. This strike has reduced London's transport
:04:01. > :04:04.system to a crawl. The badges for commuters is that this dispute has
:04:05. > :04:11.not yet been resolved. -- the bad news.
:04:12. > :04:17.The strike is not officially over -- the strike is now officially over,
:04:18. > :04:21.had finished half an hour ago. However, people, as you have seen,
:04:22. > :04:25.people are queueing and waiting to see if they can get in, more out of
:04:26. > :04:28.hope than expectation. Looking at the official statistics that
:04:29. > :04:33.Transport for London have given to us, they have said that 70% of
:04:34. > :04:42.stations did eventually opened today and also all Tube lines had a
:04:43. > :04:47.service. That might be the case, but it has been a miserable day if you
:04:48. > :04:49.are a commuter. What it also shows is that whoever the mayor is, the
:04:50. > :04:54.transport union still wield considerable in London.
:04:55. > :04:59.Thank you for that update, Tom Edwards.
:05:00. > :05:01.Well, commuters aren't the only ones frustrated because today
:05:02. > :05:03.was the first day of exams for many university students.
:05:04. > :05:06.If that wasn't stressful enough, the Tube strike meant some
:05:07. > :05:07.arrived late or missed their assessments altogether.
:05:08. > :05:10.Here's our education reporter Marc Ashdown on a testing
:05:11. > :05:22.The start of exam season could not have come at a worse time. Thousands
:05:23. > :05:24.of university students were among those in today's commuter crush, not
:05:25. > :05:31.the kind of cramming they had in mind. Most did make it, but not
:05:32. > :05:35.without a real fight. Parts of the station have been closed, so we got
:05:36. > :05:39.a one-hour bus to Shepherd's Bush and running from beer to hear, which
:05:40. > :05:43.meant we were just in time for the exam, but it was quite stressful,
:05:44. > :05:50.probably more stressful than the exam itself! That led to claims from
:05:51. > :05:54.many on social media that it is unfair to expect students to sit
:05:55. > :05:57.exams during strikes. I have been up since five o'clock this morning
:05:58. > :06:01.because we had to leave early. I think they should have rescheduled.
:06:02. > :06:06.When you look at it, I understand that they have booked this place,
:06:07. > :06:09.but I think more for the students have to commute you. You are not
:06:10. > :06:13.going to perform well after you have done that. It took us more than one
:06:14. > :06:21.hour to come down from Waterloo and cost ?50. We will be waiting to more
:06:22. > :06:25.minutes and not like the 15 minutes we had to wait in the morning. We
:06:26. > :06:29.will have to get up earlier to make sure that we get here in time. A bit
:06:30. > :06:34.of a nightmare. We were exhausted before the exam. King's Lynn did not
:06:35. > :06:38.want to give us an interview but they have said they will continue to
:06:39. > :06:42.run exams all the key. They have said they are working with students
:06:43. > :06:46.to review the situation and allow flexibility, where possible, for
:06:47. > :06:51.those affected by the strikes. It was a similar story in Camden where
:06:52. > :06:55.UCL students struggle to get to their exams. It is so difficult to
:06:56. > :07:02.get these exams arranged anyway that on this occasion we have all been
:07:03. > :07:09.expected to make the effort to get to the exam on time. There are more
:07:10. > :07:14.exams across London all week, the Tube may or may have been done for
:07:15. > :07:18.one day, but the next Southern rail strike begins tomorrow.
:07:19. > :07:21.Well, the Mayor, who during his election campaign said he would roll
:07:22. > :07:24.up his sleeves to make sure there are zero days of strikes,
:07:25. > :07:27.So does he see it as a sign of failure?
:07:28. > :07:31.Here's our political correspondent, Karl Mercer.
:07:32. > :07:35.Sadly, not to each other, but fighting a war of
:07:36. > :07:39.The Mayor and Transport For London condemning the strikes...
:07:40. > :07:49.Their only common ground they claim - a willingness to talk.
:07:50. > :07:55.Yeah, we are absolutely open to talks at any moment in time. We will
:07:56. > :07:59.get back there tomorrow, as soon as they want. Get on with it. We have
:08:00. > :08:03.to resolve these things amicably around the table. I would suggest
:08:04. > :08:05.once they get through this we get back around the table.
:08:06. > :08:18.Are you discussing when you will talk them? We have said that we will
:08:19. > :08:21.do this through the auspices of ACAS. We have made it clear to them
:08:22. > :08:26.that we are available for talks and we would expect them to be in
:08:27. > :08:28.contact with a similar way. But nothing is planned as we speak?
:08:29. > :08:29.Nothing at the moment. Not good news then for Londoners
:08:30. > :08:38.who battled to work today. I think the strike today is
:08:39. > :08:43.completely unnecessary and causing misery to millions of commuters.
:08:44. > :08:46.Businesses will lose millions of pounds in revenues and patients will
:08:47. > :08:52.not be able to reach their hospital appointments, the strike could have
:08:53. > :08:56.been avoided. We have to get the mere and the attention of the senior
:08:57. > :08:57.team to let them know that we cannot essentially be pushed away with an
:08:58. > :08:59.inadequate offer. It's an embarrassment for the Mayor,
:09:00. > :09:02.who said during his election campaign he'd aim for zero
:09:03. > :09:04.days of strikes... Much harder to deliver
:09:05. > :09:06.when you're actually in power. And to put more staff back
:09:07. > :09:09.in stations to help solve the dispute would mean taking money
:09:10. > :09:15.from somewhere else. If as a result of this we must
:09:16. > :09:18.change things within our organisation, to ensure that we
:09:19. > :09:21.provide that right service at the front line, those of the decisions
:09:22. > :09:27.people make and that is what we will do. So you might have to move the
:09:28. > :09:29.Budget is around? It is not about extra money, it is about moving the
:09:30. > :09:32.Budget above. The politics of the strike will be
:09:33. > :09:35.far from the minds of commuters, but it seems they have also put
:09:36. > :09:42.the Mayor at odds with his party. Would you like to see the Labour
:09:43. > :09:47.Party nationally condemn the strike for the damage caused to the economy
:09:48. > :09:50.of London? All I can talk about is London and I know that the strike
:09:51. > :09:55.could have been avoided, I know that it is unnecessary. The Ljubomir has
:09:56. > :10:00.described this as unnecessary, the strike. Well, look, I was not in the
:10:01. > :10:07.room when the discussions were taking place. But I do know that
:10:08. > :10:09.there is a ledger -- legitimate beef when we lose that much money to the
:10:10. > :10:21.economy. Not quite on the same
:10:22. > :10:24.page it would seem then. The Mayor's immediate focus
:10:25. > :10:27.though will be on getting So today's strike may
:10:28. > :10:34.have just finished, Yes, not the start that the unions
:10:35. > :10:40.and the London mayor would have wanted. But the unions have shown
:10:41. > :10:43.Sadiq Khan that they can bring London to a standstill and they will
:10:44. > :10:47.be hoping to get back around the table and talk. As I have said Anton
:10:48. > :10:52.said in his piece, this comes down to money and the numbers. TFL and
:10:53. > :10:56.the mayor has said that they will put 200 staff back in and of they do
:10:57. > :10:59.that, if not more than that, because the unions have said that is not
:11:00. > :11:02.enough, they will have to find the money from elsewhere in the TFL
:11:03. > :11:03.Budget, it is a tricky one. And as we mentioned earlier,
:11:04. > :11:11.this is a week that's going to test Yes, they will get home tonight and
:11:12. > :11:14.those of the travellers who have come from further afield and perhaps
:11:15. > :11:19.using Southern rail, they will be facing two days of strikes, strikes
:11:20. > :11:22.on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, that will bring that network to a
:11:23. > :11:25.standstill and there will be severe disruption on the other days and we
:11:26. > :11:32.know that British Airways cabin crew are beginning a 48 hours strike
:11:33. > :11:39.tomorrow as well. For the moment, Karl Mercer, thank you.
:11:40. > :11:44.We will have more on those other strikes later in the programme.
:11:45. > :11:51.Well, strikes aside, stay with us because still to come tonight...

:13:33. > :13:40.and the confidence as early as possible to help them with their

:16:39. > :16:43.have their family life significantly disrupted as a result of your

:16:53. > :16:58.. Southern rail has been locked in a bitter dispute with unions over
:16:59. > :17:01.driver only operated trains. What is stopping the settlement is the
:17:02. > :17:05.attitude of the company towards changing the way that the trains are
:17:06. > :17:13.operated and they are backed up by the DFT and Chris Grayling and they
:17:14. > :17:15.are refusing to come to a compromise. I am deeply sorry for
:17:16. > :17:18.the inconvenience caused to customers now and I think the
:17:19. > :17:21.union's action is grossly disproportionate and I also think
:17:22. > :17:25.that they are causing immeasurable damage, not only to passengers, but
:17:26. > :17:30.also to the regional economy. There were questions also for politicians.
:17:31. > :17:35.Why had they not done more? When it comes down to it, we the Suju is
:17:36. > :17:40.about safety, not politics, so there must be a technical solution rather
:17:41. > :17:42.than a political intervention. Have we not been let down by the
:17:43. > :17:45.government on this issue, should they not have intervened earlier? It
:17:46. > :17:48.is not the government that is refusing to drive trains which the
:17:49. > :17:54.independent safety regulator has talked about. Others have suggested
:17:55. > :18:01.that the late -- Mayor of London should get involved directly. They
:18:02. > :18:04.have to respond to local concerns, that transforms the network and we
:18:05. > :18:09.do not have that for some of these train operators at the moment. The
:18:10. > :18:13.main sticking point remains, would a second person be employed on every
:18:14. > :18:18.train? People want this brought to an end and you can do that. You can
:18:19. > :18:25.do that as well. But you will not do that. If you can guarantee a second

:19:52. > :19:57.the play followed the movie and any sense, the musical allowed us to
:19:58. > :20:00.expand that story and spend more time on new story elements like
:20:01. > :20:12.those of the husbands and the children. So it gave a new life to
