The London Mayor and London Underground have conceded the start of the Night Tube might slip from its original 12 September date.

There is some hope though. One of the more moderate unions, the TSSA, has called for talks to start as soon as tomorrow. And sooner or later this will have to be resolved.

This dispute is still a long way from being sorted even though there's a pay deal on the table.

Unions have concerns about more weekend and night working due to the Night Tube and say its not about the money. They say they support the Night Tube.

Even the process of talking about the changes hasn't yet been agreed. Poor industrial relations from the last dispute over ticket office closures haven't helped and in the background the government is considering changing strike legislation.

Tonight the industrial action for some of the unions finishes at 18:30 but it'll be more of the same for commuters as there will be no Tube today.

There might be some disruption even tomorrow.

It's incredibly quiet here at Gloucester station. Services seem to be running regularly to Bristol, Cardiff and Nottingham, but there are only a handful of passengers here.

The taxi rank is seeing no business - "It's dead" a driver tells me. He has decided to wash his car in the sunshine while he waits for a customer.

The entire London Underground network is out of action as drivers strike over pay and conditions related to the planned introduction of all-night services.

This Tube strike is as much about personalities as it is about the deal they are trying to hammer out.

The team negotiating for London Underground is new at this. The Chief Operating Officer, Steve Griffiths, joined from Virgin Atlantic earlier this year, and my understanding is that no-one on the management side of the table has experience dealing with rail deals.

Not that long ago, bosses on both sides would have got together, informally, away from the negotiating table, maybe over a beer, to see if they could smooth the path for an agreement.

That hasn't happened this time.

TfL says it has put on extra cycle hubs, external from 07:00-11:00 and 16:00-20:00, at:

"Thankfully I was able to work from home today," says Christopher. "The queue of people extended past what I was able to fit in the picture. There were around 150-200 people waiting to enter.

"The amount had slightly grown by 8:10. The line occasionally moved at a shuffle pace. "
