Almost all lines were suspended across the Underground in the early hours of this morning, with Clapham Junction evacuated at about 9am.

The Tube strike, which has seen lines closed across London, comes a day before further strike action is due on Southern Rail services.

Clapham Junction station was reopened at about 9.40am.

Commuters have taken to social media to vent their frustration at the capital’s rail services, which have been plagued by strikes and disruption in recent months.

Pictures have also surfaced of South Wimbledon station being closed, despite Transport for London saying services on the Northern Line are still running.

Delays and cancellations have also been reported across south London stations, including Wimbledon, Balham and Croydon.

Pictures are also surfacing online of queues outside tube stops, with workers having walked out at 6pm yesterday.

Transport for London (TfL) said last week it would be deploying 'Travel Ambassadors' to help customers navigate the city, with 150 extra buses and enhanced river services being brought in.

Steve Griffiths, chief operating officer for London Underground, said: "This strike, called by the leadership of the RMT and TSSA unions is unnecessary.

"We had always intended to review staffing levels and have had constructive discussions with the unions.

"We agree that we need more staff in our stations and have already started to recruit 200 extra staff and this is likely to increase further as we work through the other areas that need to be addressed."
