News | London
London Underground services have sprung back to life after five days of travel chaos caused by the RMT strike.
All Tube lines were back in operation by 8.30am – ahead of schedule – although many were suffering severe delays, according to TfL.
The Docklands Light Railway is also back up and running after it was hit by a strike over a separate issue on Thursday.
It comes a day after London Underground invited union leaders to talks next week in a bid to resolve a dispute over pay and hours which led to the walkouts.

As the union’s week of strikes came to an end, Transport for London has extended an invitation to the RMT to resume negotiations.
After indicating that more strikes might occur, the RMT did not state if it would accept TfL’s invitation to additional discussions next Wednesday.
Following the conclusion of the final strike by 10,000 RMT members on Thursday night, TfL stated that London Underground trains will not be operating at full capacity until the end of the morning rush hour.
It was advised that travellers check for updates prior to departure, particularly for commutes before 8am.
The Northern line is currently the only Tube service running smoothly this morning.
The rest of the Tube is still suspended.
