"Everyone knows holidays only really begin when you step off the plane. All the travel before that is stressful at the best of times, but if you're heading off on an early September break, you might be feeling even more anxiety than normal, as the RMT union has announced a week of tube and DLR strikes starting next Friday (September 5)."
"It's usually very straightforward to get to any one of London's six airports, but with transport disrupted, you might need to take a slightly different route.Don't worry though, you'll still be able to jet off without too much bother. The good news is that the London Underground isn't the only way to get from A to B in the capital city. From Gatwick to Luton, here's how to get to London's airports during the upcoming September strikes."
"The DLR will be shut on September 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. On these days, no DLR services will be available at any time. Luckily, Heathrow is the easiest airport in London to access by public transport. Although the Piccadilly line is a popular option, on days where the tube has been called off you'll still be able to get there on the Elizabeth line or on the Heathrow Express which runs from Paddington. National Express also operates coaches to Heathrow."
Tube and DLR strikes in early September will disrupt London Underground and DLR services across specified dates. The tube will be out of service from 6pm on Friday September 5 through the strike period, and the DLR will be fully shut on September 7–11. Travellers can still reach major airports using alternative rail and coach services. Heathrow is reachable via the Elizabeth line, the Heathrow Express from Paddington, and National Express coaches. Gatwick is accessible via the Gatwick Express from Victoria station. Passengers may need to take different routes but can still travel to all London airports.
