London Underground workers have taken industrial action against Transport for London, following the authority's decision to cut around 1,000 jobs.
Union members started their 48-hour walk-out at 9pm on Tuesday (4th February) hoping that planned ticket office closures will be dropped.
The decision by Transport for London to close some ticket offices is in stark contrast to election pledges made by the chief of Transport for London, Mayor Boris Johnson.
British news outlets have been reporting that fans faced disruption to their journeys to watch Taylor Swift perform at Greenwich. Meanwhile, the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, described the strike as "shameful".
Union bosses claim that ticket office closures will lead to a decline in service to commuters and that the jobs provided are vital.
