UK: London Underground staff to stage 24-hour strikes Oct. 4 and 6
Tube staff in London, UK, to stage 24-hour strikes Oct. 4 and 6; significant public transport disruptions likely.
Event
London Underground (Tube) train crew affiliated with the RMT union are planning two 24-hour strikes Oct. 4 and 6 over jobs and working conditions.
The actions will affect all lines, with Transport for London (TfL) anticipating no services will run on either strike day and significant disruption to services the following mornings. The actions will likely prompt crowding and delays on alternative services, including London Overground rail, buses, and taxis. Striking workers could picket outside London Underground stations, though such gatherings will probably produce only minimal disruptions.
Advice
Plan accordingly for significant disruption to public transport services in London Oct. 4 and 6. Make alternative travel arrangements if necessary and allow extra time to complete journeys.
