These are the best Tube strike tweets from miserable commuters (and some rather smug ones)
Ah, another day, another Tube strike.
Not nearly on the level of the mass January walkout which caused most of Zone 1 stations to shut down, but try telling that to the commuters who'd usually get the Central or Waterloo & City Lines into work…
Of course, with the strike comes a raft of angry and funny tweets. Here are some of the best of today's commuter tweets.

One Tube driver had some reassuring advice for his passengers…
*Tube driver* If you are due in at at work at 9 o clock, you're late now so don't worry about it 😂 #tubestrike

Some had a nasty surprise when they didn't realise there was a strike until the day was upon them:

As with any Tube strike, you had those feeling rather pleased with themselves:

And those who, whisper it quietly, have actually come out of this Tube strike malarkey pretty well…

Hoping to avoid any disruption caused by today's #TubeStrike by driving to the office. And by living and working in Newcastle.
