London descends into chaos as a result of the strike of subway
Millions of Londoners arrived late at work he he, or not go at all, on the first day of a week in travel chaos due to a series of strikes in the railway sector.
Confusion has launched London subway strike, something that forced residents of the capital to use personal cars, very crowded buses, bicycles and even boats to deal with the chaos in motion.
Long lines formed in front of the subway station, while road traffic was very dense. Railway junction "Claphan", the most widely used in normal day in Britain, was evacuated by the authorities because of the crowds gathered there.
Many Londoners told the media that, due to overloading of buses and appalling traffic on the road, they decided to go to work on foot, although instead of 20 minutes with vehicles, would had to walk for 2 or 3 hour.
Monday's strike in the metro, which transports every day on average 4.8 million people, is the prelude to a week of strikes that will affect industrial railways and flights. Unions complain about budget cuts and jobs, and is expected to touch on travel chaos across Britain.
