Get ready for a LOT of disruption on the London Underground and buses today
Campaigners are planning to disrupt Tube services as part of a series of climate change protests which have led to nearly 300 people being arrested in the capital.
TfL tweeted: ‘Central London / Extinction Rebellion – Bus routes which usually serve central London are, again, diverted / curtailed due to on-going protest which are blocking several roads.’ In a statement posted on Twitter he said: ‘It is absolutely crucial to get more people using public transport, as well as walking and cycling, if we are to tackle this climate emergency – and millions of Londoners depend on the Underground network to get about their daily lives in our city.
Five people were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage following disruption outside commercial premises in Lambeth on Monday and have since been released under investigation.
