Fatima sent us a message about her commute. She said: "This was the most fun I had in my usual one-and-a-half hour journey to work from Chingford to Harlesden. Fun not because it took me five hours to get there but fun because despite the crowds and station closures staff and public were so helpful and making jokes.

"Smiles and compassion is all I experienced today."

Daniel, who has been a train driver for eight years, added: "I don't think anyone has a problem with doing the Night Tube. We know it's going to happen.

"It's just the way it has been put across to us. They ignored our union reps for months and months and months. Then they linked our pay and the night deal."

He described the new pay deal offered earlier this week by London Underground as "not negotiating, that's dictating".

Daniel, a London Underground train driver, said the 2% pay rise was a good deal but he objected to the "point blank" way unions were asked to accept the deal within four hours.

The 34-year-old said he sympathised with customers whose journeys had been disrupted by the Tube strike but he felt compelled to strike because he felt the introduction of the Night Tube was premature.

"The assets are not good enough. The rolling stock constantly breaks down, which leads to trains being withdrawn from service," Daniel said.

"The track quality is not very good, the signalling is breaking down all the time."

He added the existing maintenance problems would be exacerbated if the weekend night Tube goes ahead, because it would take away two night's engineering work, currently there is engineering work on the Tube every night.

London Underground is advising Tube services will resume tomorrow with a full service, but customers are being urged to check before they travel.

BBC London's transport correspondent Tom Edwards says transport bosses are pretty confident of a good service as they think they have all the Tube trains in the right places, although there might be a little bit of disruption as the service starts up.

For those who are in London on a one-off trip, navigating the Tube network can seem daunting but do-able.

However, trying to work out the same journey on foot or by bus seems a step too far.

"I have no idea where I am going," said Victoria Millar, clutching her mobile phone outside Waterloo station. "Do you know how to get to Farringdon?"

Find out how the 21-year-old tried to navigate the city without the Tube.

The usual moaners criticising unions.. erm, union members are people too and deserve fairness, or does that only apply to the cosy selfish types? Blame Boris and LU for this.

"The sight of the Routemaster did bring a smile to some faces," says James. "The number 8 route also has some buses brought up from Wales..."

The words "chaos", "misery" and "disruption" feature in many news stories about the tube and rail strike. A select few, however, managed to salvage something positive from the receiving end of the industrial action which they were happy to share with the Twitterverse.

Newsnight journalist Alex Campbell said: "Hey internet. I ran to work today due to the #TubeStrike and turned up on time. I even used Google to map my route."

His route seemingly spelled out the word "smug".

The strike by First Great Western (FGW) staff is over plans to dispose of guards and buffet cars on FGW's new Hitachi Inter City Express trains.

Mark Hopwood, FGW's managing director, said: "These brand new trains have been designed to deliver more seats, and faster, more frequent journeys - but we can't deliver those if they are operated in the same way as the trains we run today, which were built in the 1970s.

"We have already made assurances about job security and commitments to increase the number of staff on board Super Express Trains, and I am happy to repeat those today. No-one working on board these trains will lose their jobs because of our proposals, in fact we need at least 100 more, not fewer staff on board to deliver our plans."

Alistair Watson emailed: "Many people in the City today did not seem to know their way around.

"I walked on the South Bank on this lovely morning and mused that those on strike should do this more often.

"Many of us within walking distance of our offices would be fitter and the money saved on their salaries could be invested in the project to automate the network."

The news from Plymouth station earlier was definitely one of most passengers having stayed away altogether, rather than take advantage of the few First Great Western trains, external running.

The 05:00 red-eye service to London, I'm told, had five passengers boarding at Plymouth when it left for London Paddington. Services up from Cornwall have been busier, according to platform staff, but I counted up as the 09:10 FGW train left Plymouth for Penzance and 75 passengers boarded an eight-carriage train. All of them could have fitted in one carriage.

First Great Western claims more than 60% of services are "operating as normal". despite hundreds of staff going on strike.

However, Mick Cash, from National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers, said: "These figures are pure fiction. The company has been forced into wholesale shutdowns, with a manager-run skeleton service in some areas, due to the strike action as passengers will confirm. It does no one any favours driving more people onto dangerously overcrowded trains.

"The solution to this dispute isn't manufactured figures and PR stunts it is serious talks addressing the core issues that have forced our members to strike.‎"

Richard Smith, a journalist at BBC Essex, captured this shot outside Liverpool Street station: "There were bus queues hundreds of metres long, snaking all around the first floor."

Peter Mullett is travelling by train, foot and Boris bike from Archway to Westminster.

"To be honest it's been quite nice to have a change to my journey but I think if it was raining I wouldn't be as accommodating," he says.
