The Transport for London website crashed on Monday morning as Londoners faced a nightmare trying to get to work.
People trying to clicking onto specific lines to find out more information about the impact of a five-day RMT walkout were greeted with an “internal service error” message.
“Please try again later,” it said.
Social media users speculated that the website had “buckled under strain” as hundreds of thousands of Londoners pondered how to plot their way in to work – or whether to give up and stay at home.

The action kicked off on Sunday with limited services running but levels of disruption are set to ramp up as Transport for London (TfL) warned there will be few or no services between Monday and Thursday.
An error screen appeared when the Standard tried to access TfL’s website (TfL)
No trains will be running before 8am and passengers are asked to complete journeys by 6pm.
There will also be no Docklands Light Railway services on Tuesday and Thursday because of a strike by RMT members in a separate pay dispute.
The Standard has contacted TfL for comment.
