How bad is the tube strike?
 

My girlfirend has to visit her mother in London on Thursday. I'm
staying out of it!!.

She can get a train to London but will need the tube.

What are the tubes like with this strike? Is there any service?

Depends on the line. Where's she arriving / leaving from? And if she
can go outside peak hours that'd be easier...

http://www.tfl.gov.uk./ has up-to-date info on the front page.

The summary is that there is some service, but not much.

The Jubilee and Northern lines were operating today. I travelled from
Baker Street to London Bridge on the Jubilee at about 5pm with no
problems; Southwark station was closed due, it was said, to shortage of
staff.

What do we reckon the tube service tomorrow is going to be like? Better or
worse?

How accurate was the TfL web site information? According to that, things
varied a *lot* by line, from an almost normal service on the Northern to
hardly any service on the Piccadilly and none at all on the Circle,
surprise, surprise!

As feedback she said she found the tubes were not all that busy but
they ran less often and didn't carry on through the centre.
