I'm about to start my journey home now. If you're still out and about, I hope you get to where you are going to safely.

The Tubes should be running normally again tomorrow morning.

BBC London Live will be back from 08:00 to bring you the latest travel, news, weather and sport updates. Goodnight.

If you're walking or cycling home or queuing for a bus, you'll be glad to know it's going to be a dry evening with most cloud melting away.

There could be a light wind making it feel cooler especially in more suburban areas of the outer boroughs such as Bromley and Richmond.

"For a healthy person this is fine, but not really acceptable for Mum," she said.

Why, that's equivalent to a bagel with honey!

Congestion is much worse this evening than during the morning rush hour, say Tom Tom traffic analysts.

Traffic peaked today at 17:52 when there were 894 separate traffic jams causing 500 miles (804 km) of tailbacks.

That's more than double this morning's congestion, when there were 428 jams and nearly 200 miles (321 km) of tailbacks.

But neither figure exceeds the tailbacks during the strike in July, when there were 1495 jams and 833 miles (1,340 km) of delays during the evening rush hour.

A long-serving LU train driver, who wished to remain anonymous, told BBC News: "We get paid an amazing salary and the holidays are great too [43 days leave including eight bank holidays] but why should I be forced to work nights and more weekends when that is not what I signed up for?

It's about the principle of changing our working conditions without discussions. I hate striking but I will continue to do so until the company listens or they make it illegal to strike.

I feel sorry for commuters but instead of complaining to staff, they should complain to TfL and stand up for their rights too."

David Wartnaby has spotted an advert for a "discipline engineer", external which he jokingly says should mean the end of Tube strikes:

If Tube drivers think the commuters of London are on their side they are greatly mistaken. It is time for London to bring out that Blitz spirit and never give in to these blackmailing unions. If LU gives in again it will never stop.

Perhaps we should have a London-wide referendum on their pay and conditions request, after all we (the commuters), will ultimately end up paying for whatever deal they get; shouldn't we have a say?

Two lanes are blocked on the M25 anti-clockwise from J19 for Watford to J18 for Chorleywood.

Ken Davidson, TfL's head of bus operations, said: "The remarks made by this bus driver were totally unacceptable and we apologise to the passengers who bore the brunt of them. The bus driver was immediately removed from duty and we have taken this up with the company that employed him."

Horrible bottleneck out of Blackfriars station up to the bridge, tweets Lydia Fowles, external:

A woman who filmed an altercation between a bus driver and a fellow passenger, has told BBC News the driver allegedly "even tried to hit a black male passenger for stepping on the bus when it was packed which resulted in the male's glasses almost falling off his face, the driver switching off his engine and then this argument stirring as the driver was extremely rude from the get go."

The footage, taken by the woman who wishes to remain anonymous, shows the driver swearing at another passenger who came to the traveller's defence.

There's long delays anti-clockwise on the M25 with traffic queuing from J17 Maple Cross to J12 for the M3.

Jonathan Slack emails: I drove in today. Predictable nose to tail traffic along the Mile End Road, which is exacerbated by the CS2 works along its whole length.

London can't afford to have events like this strike without it causing huge inconvenience to the travelling public.

LU/TFL and the Unions need to sort this out. I am incredulous that with almost a year's notice of 24-hour working, proper arrangements have not been put in place.

TfL says buses in zones 1 and 2 are delayed by up to an hour, external because of increased demand during the Tube strike.

Thousands of commuters trying to get home during the Tube strike are taking the bus, which TfL says are delayed by up to an hour in current traffic.

One passenger John Keeley tweets, external: "It's 24 degrees. A bit of air con would help. About to faint."
