Commuters suffered some delays to &to=http://english.pravda.ru/accidents/21/96/382/16270_subway.html' target=_blank>subway journeys across London Monday in a strike by station staff, but there was no sign of the wholesale disruption that had been feared.

At the height of the strike at the morning rush hour, just 40 of the system's 275 stations were closed, and half of those stations reopened later.
