LONDON -- We knew it was coming, we've had them before, and yet they always cause trouble.
The 24 hour (plus) strike by Tube staff, following a failed pay deal for staff for the forthcoming night service, saw London's fragile network start to fall apart at the seams late Wednesday evening - and continued causing problems throughout Thursday.
Thankfully, Britons love to queue, and neat, organised lines formed across the capital.
People are actually forming orderly queues to get on the bus. London I'm shocked #TubeStrikes— Ebony Majesty (@MahaliaJ91) July 9, 2015
Despite the London Underground strike, I admire the London workers for demonstrating immaculate bus queues this morning. Straight lines— Charles Sherred (@ChuckyShed) July 9, 2015

Of course the atmosphere wasn't quite so genteel city-wide. Over in Stratford, for example...
