WTX is at Liverpool Street station, where things appears to be calm before storm ahead of rush hour.

TfL staff, who declined to give their names, said the first strike day has not been ‘too bad’ with crowds.

‘It’s a little bit busier, but not too bad. But the peak is still to come,’ they said.

Ashley, 34, who was waiting for her cousin at the station’s Elizabeth line entrance, had travelled from Durham for the launch of an LGBTQ+ magazine and to see a comedian.

She only heard about the strike on her way in on the train.

She said: ‘I was a little bit stressed about it, but it has been completely fine, absolutely no disruption.

‘I took the Tube from King’s Cross to Moorgate and walked from there in the rain. We are staying in Hackney but haven’t planned yet how we will travel there.

‘I’m travelling again on Thursday so will see how it is.’
