In September, the Tube will run 24 hours over the weekends on selected lines, but Tube drivers and their unions say that TfL's offer of a 2% pay rise and a bonus of £2,000 won't compensate for the unsociable hours they'll be working. The drivers, who can earn up to £50,000 a year, have since rejected the offer and have gone on strike in protest of what they deem an unfair deal.
London slowly started to descend into chaos as commuters made last-minute dashes to catch the last Tubes home whilst others had to find alternative ways to get to work the next day.
