Is it worth commuting to London on the tube strikes days?
Posted by Fittafora@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 7 comments
I'm coming in from a train to Stratford, then a tube going to Waterloo on Wednesday morning and back Waterloo to Stratford on Thursday night. It looks like the bulk of the strikes will not be on lines I'm affected but wondered from prior experience last month whether it will cause delays and potentially restrict getting home.

I’d seriously avoid it if you can, the rest of the lines will be super busy. Work from Home if you can, you’ll thank yourself!

On my last trip through London my journey was affected by tube strikes.
I was returning to London St Pancras from Paris and I had to get back to Andover (where I had parked my car to commute in to London)…
Ultimately, it was a necessary journey, so I walked from St Pancras to Waterloo, where I would have otherwise got the tube…
It was a necessary journey… I would have probably avoided an optional journey…

Don’t waste your time. It’s more useful to be at home on a call or actually working than sitting waiting in delays or for buses as everything grinds to a halt.

No, everything else will be absolutely rammed. Look at the bus queues when there were strikes

If you can avoid it, I would. Even if a line is running, it's likely to be a lot busier than usual, and may be subject to disruption
