Transport for London (TfL) is asking customers to check before they travel ahead of planned strike action on London Underground by RMT union Tube drivers.
TfL is working hard to resolve the dispute, with dialogue with the union ongoing, and will operate as many services as possible should strikes go ahead. TfL is urging the union to call off their action and continue to work together on proposals to pilot a four-day week for train operators.
Strike action affecting the London Underground has been called between Tuesday, April 21, and Friday, April 24. Should the strikes go ahead, there is expected to be some service on most lines, but with significant disruption.
The level of service on each line will vary across the London Underground network. On these days, all other London Underground staff will be working, and other TfL services including Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground and Trams will be running normally however they are likely to be very busy.
The vast majority of buses will be running normally throughout these strikes, but seven routes operated by Stagecoach will be affected by a separate strike. Other buses will run as usual.
Customers are advised to check their travel daily on TfL Go.
Other TfL services – including the Elizabeth line, London Overground, buses and London Trams – will be operating but are likely to be very busy.
Customers who need to travel are advised to plan ahead using the TfL website or the free TfL Go app, and to consider walking and cycling where possible. If using public transport, customers should check their travel daily throughout the strike action and allow extra time to complete their journey.
