Arsenal shut midway through yesterday; Lambeth North and Charing Cross closed early last night; Liverpool Street opened up two hours late this morning.
And around the combine, managers are finding themselves having to get out from behind their desks and cover station duties to keep the station open because duties are uncovered and no-one will do them on overtime. Goodness me, with managers having to do some actual station work, who on earth is going to fill in all those important forms?!
The overtime ban is having the desired effect - keeping up the pressure on management, keeping up the momentum between the strikes.
It can be galling to see the very people who scabbed on the strikes now lapping up overtime in defiance of the ban - but remember, there are only a tiny minority of them, and there are lots and lots of us!
And it can also be hard doing without overtime especially if you are in a lower-paid grade and have come to rely on supplementing your income. Some union branches are setting up hardship funds to help out members facing situations like this. But remember, overtime will be the least of your worries if your job goes!
