Tube staff will undertake industrial action over pay, hours and alleged broken promises by Transport for London. Strikes begin at 6pm on Friday September 5 and continue through Thursday September 11, with Underground services suspended each day and DLR services also halted from Sunday September 7. The Overground, buses and the Elizabeth line will continue to run because their staff belong to different unions. London has other transport options such as buses, Overground, Elizabeth line, river services, cycling, walking and taxis. Travellers should plan journeys in advance, allow extra time and check service updates before travelling.
It's been nearly nine months since the last tube strikes hit London, but our period of peace has officially come to an end. Last week, a wave of industrial action was announced by the RMT union, stretching all the way from next Friday (September 5) until the following Thursday (September 11). There are a few different reasons that the tube staff are striking and there are various different workers in different parts of the network who will be walking out.
The strikes will begin at 6pm on Friday September 5, with different people walking out on each day until September 11, but the effect - halted tube trains - will be the same whichever people are striking on a given day. Here's what that will look like in practice: Friday September 5: No service on Underground lines after 6pm. Saturday September 6: No service on Underground lines all day Sunday September 7: No service on Underground lines OR DLR all day Monday September 8: No service on Underground lines OR DLR all day
