Tim O'Toole, Managing Director of London Underground, speaking at Victoria Station this morning said: ``I am sorry for the difficult journey many passengers are having to face today.

``We are encouraged by the number of train drivers at work, which is allowing us to run more services than we expected and I would like to thank those staff who are keeping London moving.''

Latest figures show that almost 30 percent of normal Underground trains are now running.

Transport for London (TfL) is providing a series of media travel information bulletins throughout the period of the RMT Tube strike.
