We've been hearing from businesses across the capital about the negative impact of the second 24-hour walkout this week.

Kristina Kupcinskaite says business has been "very, very slow".

She says: "We are taking £500 less a day. [Normally] we would have taken £500 by this time, now we have taken £200, so it’s £300 difference, so far, so we will see how it will be by the end of the day, but it will be quiet, because it was the same on Tuesday."

Is she worried about further strike action in future?

"Of course I am. Strikes, Covid, everything affects our businesses.

"We are little stores, so the less passengers the less customers for us."

Six London Underground lines remain completely suspended while another five are running limited services on the fringes of London.

The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is part suspended between Shadwell and Bank while London Overground, TfL rail and trams are unaffected by today's industrial action.

The walkout by 10,000 Rail, Maritime and Transport union workers has brought most London Underground lines to a standstill:

• No service on Circle, Victoria, Waterloo & City, Metropolitan, Jubilee and Hammersmith & City lines
• Limited service on Central, District, Northern, Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines - but nothing in zone 1
• The DLR is part-suspended between Shadwell and Bank
• London Overground was already running a reduced service on certain lines this week but is otherwise unaffected
• Trams and TfL operating as normal
• Overcrowding on buses
• High demand for taxis
• Many Santander Cycle docking stations full in central London

Many bike stations in central London are full with many on the outskirts having chosen to cycle in.

The Santander Cycle scheme is, unsurprisingly, incredible busy.

This data from OOMap, external shows the busiest stations in red, with those that are full with a yellow circle around the outside too.

The bluer the station, the emptier it is - the light blue ring around the outside shows a docking station is empty.

Green Party London Assembly member Sian Berry says the onus is on central government rather than the London mayor to "act responsibly".

She says: “Strikes are always disruptive, but workers have the right to defend their pay and conditions when they are under threat, and I can see why Tube staff are sick and tired of their jobs being used as a political football throughout the current crisis of funding.

"This must be particularly hard to take when they have all worked through the pandemic taking personal risks with their health in order to keep London moving.

"Two years of uncertainty about this essential public service in our city has to end soon with a proper long-term funding settlement that enables London to have a sustainable, high-quality transport system.”

I'm standing by the entrance to the Liverpool Street underground station - and it's actually a bit of a holy grail situation here in that eastbound Central line services to Stratford are actually running so people are going down into the Tube which is a sight to behold.

Still, groups of people are getting advice from TfL workers in their pink jackets about where to go next - it's mainly people who have just rocked up into London with big suitcases who are trying to get their heads around the fact there are no Tubes in London.

Four out of 11 Tube lines are operating a limited service with trains at a "reduced frequency". Here's what's running, according to Transport for London (TfL):

• Central Line: Service operating between Loughton and Liverpool Street, between Newbury Park and Liverpool Street via Hainault, and between White City and Ealing Broadway/West Ruislip. Trains are not calling at Bethnal Green and South Woodford.
• District Line: Service is operating between High Street Kensington and Wimbledon/Ealing Broadway, and between Upminster and West Ham at a reduced frequency. Trains are not calling at Earl's Court.
• Northern Line: Service is operating between High Barnet and East Finchley, between Finchley Central and Mill Hill East and between Edgware and Golders Green. Trains are not calling at Brent Cross and Burnt Oak.
• Piccadilly Line: Service is operating between Acton Town and Hounslow Central at a reduced frequency.
• All other lines are suspended

The Dockland's Light Railway (DLR) is running a reduced service due to the strike as follows, according to TfL:

• No service between Shadwell and Bank. Lewisham services are terminating at Shadwell, and Woolwich Arsenal services are being diverted to Tower Gateway.

The London Overground has only minor delays between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction due to an earlier faulty train.

At the top of the hour, here's the latest travel info, as today's 24-hour strike leads to more disruption:

• London stations are looking quiet as people avoid travel
• Most of London Underground's 11 lines are closed

• No Tube services in Zone 1 - but the Central, District, Piccadilly and Northern lines are running at a reduced service
• Buses and roads are busier than normal
• Reduced services are running on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and London Overground
• Trams and TfL Rail are reporting a "good service"

• It's the second 24-hour walkout in three days, and its hurting those who cannot work from home the hardest

Healthcare assistant Hanan says her journey to work is going alright.

"It's not been too bad. I got up at the same time, got on the London Overground and it was a little bit quicker because it missed several of the stops."

Hanan said she had planned ahead for today's strike and knew she'd be waiting for a bus instead of getting the Tube to the hospital.

She said: "Trying to get on a bus from here is difficult because they're not that regular and a lot busier, so it's a hassle to get on. I'm running on time this morning but it might make me late coming back home."

A London Underground worker has said the Tube strikes are "very much in passengers' interests".

RMT union member Daniel Randall was on the picket line at Oxford Circus Tube station, where he works, on Thursday.

The 35-year-old said: "I'm on strike today with around 10,000 of my workmates across London Underground.

"We're striking for three reasons. Firstly, to protect jobs, because London Underground has announced plans to cut 600 positions from Tube stations across London... and we're also striking to protect our pension arrangements, because they're currently under review and the company's made it clear that they want to save money by reforming our pension arrangements.

"We're striking to protect our conditions, because they're under review."

He added "we're standing up for a properly funded, properly staffed Tube system, and we feel that's very much in passengers' interest as well as our interests", since fewer workers would mean "a lower quality and less safe service for passengers".
