"London was so, so close to making it an entire year without tube strikes. We've enjoyed blissful strike-free travel on the Underground for nine months straight, but this week that streak will officially be broken. Members of the RMT union have voted for a week-long period of industrial action starting on Friday, September 5. They're walking out in response to disputes over pay, working hours and previous promises not being met by their employer Transport for London (TfL)."
"Commuters will be relieved to know that the Lizzie line will indeed be running as normal during the strikes, as it's not technically part of the London Underground. That said, it may still face knock-on effects from the walkout. It's likely to be busier while Underground lines are closed and TfL has warned that it could face delays and may not stop at certain stations served by tube lines."
RMT members have voted for a week-long period of industrial action starting on Friday, September 5. The walkouts respond to disputes over pay, working hours and unmet promises by Transport for London. Every London Underground line will be impacted, with services cancelled across the network. Workers on the DLR will also walk out for five days. Various Underground and DLR staff will be walking out every day from Sunday, September 7 to Thursday, September 11. The Elizabeth line is not technically part of the Underground and will run as normal during the strikes. The Elizabeth line may be busier, face delays, and may not stop at some stations served by tube lines.
