Travel in London is set for severe disruption next week as members of the RMT union stage strike action across the London Underground network.
When the strikes will take place
- Sunday 7 September: Disruption is expected from the evening as services wind down ahead of industrial action.
- Monday 8 to Thursday 11 September: If strikes go ahead, little to no Tube service is expected during these four days.
- Tuesday 9 and Thursday 11 September: The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) will also face no service due to separate strike action.
- Friday 12 to Sunday 14 September: Some bus services in west, northwest and southwest London could also be affected by separate strikes.
Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed that it is working to resolve the dispute but warned passengers to prepare for major disruption across the capital.
Which services will still be running?
While the Tube and DLR will be severely impacted, other TfL services – including the Elizabeth line, London Overground and Trams – are expected to operate. However, these services are likely to be extremely busy and may run differently than usual.
Why is the strike happening?
The dispute centres on pay and conditions. The RMT union has not yet put the latest offer from TfL to its members, and negotiations remain ongoing.
