Tube strike hits millions of Londoners

Millions of Londoners endured a chaotic start to the week on Monday after a strike shut down most of the Underground network, including many city centre stations.

Ten of the 11 Tube lines were disrupted by the 24-hour strike by members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport workers’ union, who walked out on Sunday evening in a dispute over job cuts and staffing levels.

Take a look at what happened.
