Commuters are facing severe delays across the Tube network at rush hour - what's the latest?
It comes as drivers with the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) Union walk out for the second time this week over the introduction of a voluntary four-day working week
The strikes are "very inconvenient", says Nick Christoforou, who took the bus to get to Angel station in Islington - are you impacted by today's strikes? Get in touch
The Elizabeth line, buses, London Overground, DLR and tram services are running, along with some Tube services, but are expected to be busier than usual - here's how to get around despite the strike
Around 60% of Tube drivers turned up for work on Thursday morning, an increase on the strikes on Tuesday, according to TfL
One cab driver tells the BBC the strikes are causing "too much traffic", while a coffee shop owner says he anticipates he'll lose £5,000-£6,000 in sales
The RMT Union says it will meet with TfL next week - but finding a solution remains tricky, writes our transport correspondent
Services are now restored on the Bakerloo line, although Transport for London (TfL) warns users should expect "severe delays".
Earlier, the Bakerloo line was among those partly suspended and the status of other routes is likely to change throughout the day.
Here's where things currently stand across the network - and you can check TfL's website, external for further live updates.

When my colleague came into the office and sat down next to me he shared his commuting woes, but for me it was a different story (sorry Tinshui).
I left early to be on time for my shift in central London, but found my Overground platform deserted. The service was on time - the Overground lines are not part of the strikes.
Changing to get on to the Victoria line, there was some crowding on the platform, and I had to wait a few minutes for the train, whereas they normally come one every minute in rush hour.
However, despite the crowding, we all got on the next service, and on the way into central London it didn't get much busier.
I ended up at work 25 minutes early, plenty of time to make a coffee.

Earlier this morning, one of our reporters was delayed getting to the newsroom, and the cab driver suggested there were more cars on the road than usual because of the strikes.
However, TfL's data shows there are "no exceptional delays" on the city's major roads - with the exception of the Silvertown Tunnel, which is experiencing "serious delays" due to utility works.

The first obvious port of call would be the buses, but these are expected to be busier than usual today. Check the latest on the TfL website, external and plan ahead.
Train services like the Elizabeth line, the London Overground and Thameslink are running although are expected to be busier than usual, while the trams and DLR are also not affected by strike action.
For those in a rush, a taxi or minicab could be a good idea, but the roads may be congested as more opt to travel via bus or car.
If you prefer some fresh air, there are several companies which offer bike and scooter hire across the city and so does TfL, with lots of cycle lanes to make the journey smooth.
Heading along the river? There are several places where Uber boats dock, which is both a fun and quick way to get around and beat the traffic.
Perhaps only helpful to those hopping across the river in part of the city, but you can get from the Royal Docks over to Greenwich on the cable car.
And if that fails, use your feet, and get those steps in. It might take longer, but it beats the stuffy Tube air and you get to see the city too.

It wasn’t until I opened the transit app and saw all the travel options neatly divided into “Strike Safe” and “Pretty Risky” that I remembered there was a strike on.
By then, the only way for me to get in on time - a route I'd never taken before - was just four minutes away, and bus drivers on this route have a reputation for leaving early. I hastily packed up and left, my cat’s poo is still sitting in her litter tray.
The bus was already pulling away as I ran to the stop. It was busier than usual, and there wasn’t a seat to be found. The woman in the red dress next to me was trying to do her make-up while standing.
When the bus finally reached Ealing Broadway, I grabbed an espresso from a café I’d never tried before.
But it was good, better than usual, and the Elizabeth line is certainly more comfortable than the Piccadilly.
It took me 15 minutes to walk from Bond Street to Broadcasting House. But who’s complaining? The weather is much cooler than a few days ago. The sky is blue, and the air fresh.
I sat down at my desk seven minutes before work started. My editor asked, “How are you?” I told her the strike had an impact on me.
“But you arrived early,” she said.

I've just spoken to a teacher who is travelling to the other side of London.
She called the drivers privileged - and said that enough is enough, and the walkouts are not fair on the people of London anymore.

The Centre for Economics and Business Research suggests the strikes could have a direct economic cost of over £130m, reflecting the loss of working days across both Transport for London (TfL) staff and the wider commuter base.
It warns the true economic hit is likely to be significantly higher once indirect effects are considered, including weaker footfall.
But the centre says the costs may be mitigated by the rise in popularity of e-bikes and other alternative modes of transport, providing a new means of reaching the workplace on strike days.

BBC Weather
While last month's Tube strikes coincided with a week of sunshine in London, the weather for these walkouts has been less sunny and it's going to be another very changeable day.
Showers will be frequent and at times heavy, especially during the middle of the day and early afternoon.
There is also a risk of the odd thunderstorm with brisk, blustery winds too. Top temperatures will reach around 17 or 18C but it will feel cool in the breeze.
It should turn a little drier, brighter and less windy into this evening.

Naoise Standing is travelling to Norton, and works at Kingston Hospital.
She says she got here early - it took her three hours to get home on Tuesday, and she was worried about today.
She says drivers should be allowed to strike, but is confused about why they're striking in this instance.

Reporting from Southgate station
Outside Southgate station, Simon Gillingham is frustrated by this latest Tube strike.
"It means I can't go to the Royal Geographical Society tonight to see Andy Wilman, the man who invented Top Gear," he says.
Ordinarily he would be able to take the Tube directly to South Kensington and back from Southgate station.
"I can get there but I probably couldn't get back - that's a problem," he says.
Asked about the RMT's reasons for going on strike, he says he is "not very impressed", adding "I don't see why [conciliation service] Acas couldn't have sorted it out on Monday".
Here's the latest update from Transport for London (TfL) on which services are affected by today's strikes.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) Union, which represents today's striking Tube drivers, says it will meet with London Underground again next week to try and resolve their dispute.
Jared Wood, RMT's London transport regional organiser, tells BBC's Radio London the union "will try and make progress".
"We will continue to say to them, look, if you can lift the threat of these things being imposed on people, and agree to talk about the terms of the new arrangements you want to bring in, then we can have some constructive discussions hopefully."
The current dispute centres on Transport for London's (TfL) plans to introduce a voluntary four-day working week for drivers.
On Tuesday, TfL apologised for the disruption caused by the strike and called on "the RMT to work with us to resolve their questions on the proposed four-day week and to suspend any future action while that work is completed".

Eve Osborne and Ed Bond are travelling to Thorpe Park today, and had a smoother journey to Waterloo than expected. They are hoping they won't be too disrupted on their way back to Stratford at the end of the day.
They knew about the strike and have tried to plan accordingly, but say it can be really expensive to use alternative modes of transport.

At Southgate Tube station in north London, there is only a shuttle service between the northernmost section of the Piccadilly line between Cockfosters and Arnos Grove.
Business is down for the portable coffee seller and passengers trying to use this Art Deco station in zone 4 have been caught out too.
Russell Crashaw, a director of a construction company, is one of them.
“It disrupts me getting into work this morning as it did on Tuesday and also disrupts me going on a client networking evening this evening,” he says.
“The likes of me can't just strike so it’s very frustrating and disrupting too - I have a number of meetings, and prefer to do them face-to-face not over Teams. It's very disruptive."
Asked whether he supports the RMT, he adds: “No real comment on that I'm afraid but from a personal point of view and a business point of view it's not good for the economy at all.”
Image source, Getty ImagesThe dispute centres on Transport for London's plans to introduce a voluntary four-day working week for drivers.
Under the proposals, drivers who choose to take part would work longer shifts over four days instead of five.
The RMT says the plans could lead to fatigue and longer working days in a safety-critical role.
TfL rejects that argument and says the changes are voluntary, with drivers able to remain on their existing arrangements if they prefer.

At Waterloo Station
Everyone I've spoken to at Waterloo Station has not really been too disrupted - they are managing to get around with just small delays.
It seems Londoners are managing OK so far. But we are not in full-on rush hour yet, although it is getting very busy here at Waterloo.
Image source, BBC LondonWe now have an updated advisory from Transport for London on which Tube services are affected by today's strikes.
The Piccadilly line is running between Cockfosters and Arnos Grove with severe delays, after TfL earlier warned there would be no service across the entire route.
And the Waterloo & City line is currently completely suspended.
Check TfL's website, external for live updates and alternative routes.
Today's strike is affecting some areas of London more than others because of local transport options.
Places that rely heavily on the Piccadilly, Circle and Metropolitan lines are likely to see the biggest impact.
Central London can be particularly affected where Tube lines are closely interconnected, meaning disruption on one route can have wider knock-on effects.
By contrast, areas with alternatives such as the Elizabeth line, London Overground, DLR or Network Rail - including Stratford - may make it easier for passengers to switch routes, even if services are busier than usual.
On Tuesday, Tube journeys fell 41% compared with the same day last year, while use of the Elizabeth line rose 19% and London Overground journeys increased 9%.
Some areas, including Croydon, Sutton and Kingston, are also less affected as many journeys there do not rely on the Underground.
Overall, many people are still able to travel, but often by taking a different, possibly more overcrowded, route than usual.
Ahead of the strikes, Transport for London (TfL) said it hoped to run at least half of its trains, with disruption expected on the following routes:
TfL said it expected to run services on these Tube lines:
No service was expected on any line before 06:30 BST and Tube trains are also expected to finish earlier running than usual this evening.
