"There will be almost no Tube services running until Friday, with other modes of transport in the city such as trains, buses and trams facing severe disruption, or are likely to be congested. The Docklands Light Railway (DLR), which connects the City and Canary Wharf financial districts, will also not run on Tuesday or Thursday due to a separate dispute."
"Our pay deal is in line with other offers accepted by the RMT across the rail industry, so it is disappointing the RMT is planning to disrupt Londoners without giving their members a say on the offer. We remain open for discussions about any part of our offer, and we are committed to making sure our colleagues are treated fairly."
"Our members are doing a fantastic job to keep our capital moving and work strenuous shift patterns to make sure Londoners get to their destinations around the clock. Eddie Dempsey (Right), general secretary of the RMT Fatigue and extreme shift rotations are serious issues impacting on our members' health and wellbeing all of which have not been adequately addressed for years."
Planned strikes by London Underground workers over pay and working conditions will leave almost no Tube services running until Friday. Other transport modes including trains, buses, trams and parts of the London Overground will face severe disruption or congestion. The DLR will not operate on Tuesday or Thursday because of a separate dispute, and planned engineering works could add delays. Travellers are advised to use the Elizabeth line or Heathrow Express for Heathrow and to consider buses or taxis for London City Airport. TfL offered a 3.4% pay increase and invited further discussions. The RMT cites fatigue and extreme shift rotations as unresolved safety and wellbeing concerns.
