Briefly

Tube strikes: how disruptive will action by London Underground drivers be?
"The RMT has called the action in two 24-hour tranches from midday on Tuesday and Thursday for maximum impact over four days. On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, services will be significantly reduced and may not run later than 8pm on most lines."
"Some lines, where the RMT is heavily represented, will probably not run at all during the strike periods: the Piccadilly, Waterloo & City and Circle lines are expected to have no service."
"London buses should be running as normal but are likely to be very crowded, and are liable to be disrupted and delayed by the added numbers of passengers boarding and by congested roads if people turn to private cars."
London Underground drivers will strike for four days starting midday on April 21, causing severe transport disruptions. The RMT union represents nearly half of the drivers, while Aslef members will continue working. The strike will occur in two 24-hour periods, leading to reduced services and potential line closures, particularly on the Piccadilly, Waterloo & City, and Circle lines. Alternative transport options like London Overground and buses will be available but may be overcrowded. Walking or cycling is recommended for some journeys.
