A London Underground drivers' strike on Thursday disrupted transport in the capital, with no service expected on several lines. The RMT union is striking over a proposed four-day working week, while the rival Aslef union supports the change. TfL reported significant delays but noted that many services still ran.
A London Underground drivers' strike by the RMT union is scheduled for Thursday, causing further transport disruption. The dispute centers on the introduction of a four-day working week, which TfL is proposing voluntarily. While some lines will see no service, others will operate with reduced schedules.
London's Tube services were severely disrupted on Tuesday due to a strike by RMT Union members over plans for a 35-hour, four-day week. Passengers faced delays, suspensions, and increased reliance on buses and taxis, while tourists were caught unaware. Mayor Sadiq Khan urged talks between RMT and TfL.
London commuters face potential disruption as a deadline for a Tube strike approaches. The RMT union is in negotiations with Transport for London (TfL) over pay, working conditions, and staffing levels. Talks have so far yielded no agreement, leaving millions uncertain about travel.
London faces four days of Tube strikes from May 19-22 and June 16-19 due to a dispute over a voluntary four-day working week. RMT union opposes the plan citing safety concerns, while ASLEF members reportedly accepted it. Disruption expected across the network, with alternative transport advised.
London Underground drivers will strike for four days from midday Tuesday 21 April, with the Piccadilly, Waterloo & City and Circle lines expected to have no service. Just under half of tube drivers in the RMT union will strike, while Aslef members continue working. The dispute centres on TfL's offer of a voluntary four-day week, which Aslef supports but RMT opposes. Services will be significantly reduced Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, with morning services delayed until 7.30am on Wednesday and Friday.
