Commuter chaos in the capital as tube strikes begin

from The Standard

Today London’s tube workers are on strike. Thousands of commuters in the capital have experienced nightmarish journeys during rush hour, in the first of four days of staff walkouts, with hardly any London Underground trains operating. The Standard’s City Hall and Transport Editor Ross Lydall has the latest from the RMT Union picket line.And in part two, The Standard’s Food and Drink Writer Josh Barrie joins us to discuss the opening of the new restaurant Liverpool Street Chop House & Tavern, which will serve recipes from the 1600s in celebration of East London’s meat and fish traders.
