"Since last September's tube strikes London's rail network has been blissfully strike-free. That's set to come to an end next month, as industrial action has been announced by the RMT union for the Overground. The strikes will take place on three days spread across February, March and April. Signallers and telecom staff are walking out, blaming a pay and conditions dispute with a TfL subcontractor. Worried about strikes hitting the capital once again? Here's everything you need to know."
"How to get around London during a strike When the Windrush line is down, bus, tube and National Rail services will offer alternative routes across the city. How long will the London train strikes last? The strikes are set to last three months, though more may be called if an agreement isn't reached between the RMT and subcontractor Cleshar CS Ltd."
RMT signallers and telecom staff on the London Overground will stage one-day strikes on 26 February, 26 March and 23 April. The action will affect the Windrush line running between Highbury & Islington and Clapham Junction, West Croydon and Crystal Palace. The union cites a pay and conditions dispute with subcontractor Cleshar CS Ltd. The tube network has no planned strikes, but some Underground lines may be busier and interchange access at Highbury & Islington, Whitechapel and Canada Water may be restricted. Bus, tube and National Rail services will provide alternative routes. Further action may follow if no agreement is reached.
