London Tube and bus strikes to spark four days of travel chaos next week as two major lines to shut

"Transport for London warns of significant disruption across the network, with no service on two major lines due to planned Tube strikes next week. RMT union drivers are set to walk out for 24 hours on both Tuesday and Thursday, leading to a complete halt of services on the Piccadilly and Circle lines."

"Passengers are urged to plan ahead and check the TfL Go app before travelling, as disruption is expected to build from late morning on strike days, with serious impacts likely in the afternoon."

"The RMT union is striking primarily over the introduction of a four-day working week, which they argue could increase fatigue and compromise safety, while TfL maintains that the changes are voluntary and describes the strikes as unnecessary."

Transport for London warns of major disruptions due to planned Tube strikes next week. RMT union drivers will strike for 24 hours on Tuesday and Thursday, halting services on the Piccadilly and Circle lines entirely. The Metropolitan line and Central line will also see service interruptions. Passengers are advised to plan ahead. The strikes are primarily over a proposed four-day workweek, which the RMT claims could affect safety. While disruptions are expected, they are not anticipated to be as severe as previous strikes in September 2025.
