London commuters hit by 3rd Tube strike since Sept

Millions of London commuters struggled to work on Wednesday after staff on the city's underground rail network went on a 24-hour strike, their third walkout since September in a dispute over planned job cuts.

Transport for London, which runs the publicly controlled network known as the Tube, denied the city was paralysed. It said about 40% of trains were operating, as well as the Docklands Light Railway which serves the financial district in east London. (Reuters)
