London hit by Tube strike

LONDON commuters struggled to get to work yesterday as workers on the underground rail network held their second strike in a month in a dispute over planned job cuts.

Most underground lines were suspended or partly suspended because of a walkout by up to 10,000 tube staff that began late on Sunday, after a strike ballot critics say was not valid due to low participation.

The 140-year-old network carries more than one billion passengers a year.
