Strikes on the London Underground have resulted in thousands of commuters being left stranded, with some branding the action as 'carnage'.

The Tube strikes are taking place following a dispute over pay and conditions between members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) and Transport for London (TfL).

Industrial action was first announced in August, when the RMT claimed management had refused to engage seriously with its demands on pay, fatigue management, shift patterns and a reduction in the working week.

The September strikes will also see a separate dispute in which RMT members on London's Docklands Light Railway (DLR) will take action.

Since the Tube strikes began on Sunday, September 7, commuters have been facing long queues for the unaffected buses, the Elizabeth line, and the Overground.

Many commuters have taken to social media to share the impact of the Tube strikes, as one TikTok user branded travelling in London as "chaos".

A video posted by user laurensweeny24, showed massive queues for the Elizabeth Line with dozens of people hoping to get around London.

Capturing the video, the creator said: "These Tube strikes are no joke, why is half of London down here?".

Another video showed commuters packed into a train, unable to move, while others showed a large crowd slowly making their way out of Farringdon station from the Elizabeth Line.

The strikes have also impacted the buses, with one TikTok showing commuters attempting to fit onto a packed bus with little room.

One user joked: "May the odds be ever in your favour", capturing rows of cyclists waiting for the lights to change, while another showed cyclists swerving in between pedestrians.
