UK - London - Tube strike commuters crowds.

Metropolitan police officers stand guarding a closed underground tube entrance at London's Victoria station. There is a tube strike and capacity is vastly reduced so numbers are being strictly restricted while the tube unions ask drivers and staff not to report for duty. Passengers queue patiently behind the barriers, their faces seen with resigned expressions, as Londoners are typically want to do.
