LONDON, June 10 (Reuters) - Commuters endured rush-hour chaos on Wednesday as a 48-hour strike shut down most of the capital's underground rail network. Faced with closed stations and enormous bus queues, millions of people either walked, cycled or even roller-skated into work. Transport for London arranged taxi-sharing at major rail termini and laid on free river services and guided commuter cycle routes. The 250-mile underground network normally runs over 500 trains at peak hours and carries some 3.5 million passengers a day. But not all lines were closed. London Underground said there was a good service on the Northern Line and reduced services running on sections of the District, Jubilee, Victoria, Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines.
