Commuters in London turned to bikes, buses and boats on Tuesday asa staff strike shut down the capital’s underground “Tube” network for a second day.

With almost no underground trains running until Friday, demand for shared bike services and river transport surged as Londoners looked for alternative ways to get to work, causing longer journeys and crowding on other parts of the transport network.
