Tube Strike August 2015: 9 Things That Put Your London Travel Disruption Into Perspective

There’s no doubt London’s tube strike is inconvenient for commuters and businesses, and a sticky, sweaty and very crowded bus journey isn't the best start to the working day.

So unsurprisingly, plenty of people have expressed their anger, dismay and discomfort.

Absolute disgrace that these overpaid @RMTunion staff are striking. Over 50k a year and 50 days holiday. Genuinely overpaid. #tubestrike
