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.
