"London Underground drivers belonging to the RMT union walked out for two 24-hour periods at the end of April, resulting in disruption across the entire network and neon crowds of Lime bikes on London's roads as people sought alternative ways to get from A to B. We made it out the other side, but that was only round one. Members of the RMT are striking on six occasions in total, over 12 days."
"Unionised staff voted in favour of the industrial action in response to a 'compressed four-day working week', which RMT argues will leave employees more fatigued and create a less safe working environment. The next two walk-outs are happening next week. So, to make sure you're prepared, here's everything you need to know about getting around the capital city without the tube."
"The Overground, DLR, Elizabeth line and most buses across the city will run as normal throughout the strike period. They will likely be a lot more busy than usual, but there shouldn't be any changes to their timetables unless specified. Make sure to use TfL's journey planner before you set off to make sure there have been no changes."
"Industrial action will be taking place across four days this month. They are: May 19-20 (12pm Tues to 11.59am Weds) May 21-22 (12pm Thurs to 11.59am Fri) After that, there'll two more 24-hour strike periods in June: June 16-17 (12pm Tues to 11.59am Weds) June 18-19 (12pm Thurs to 11.59am Fri)"
London Underground drivers from the RMT union are scheduled to strike for 48 hours next week, with additional 24-hour walkouts later in May and in June. The industrial action follows a dispute over a compressed four-day working week, which the union says increases fatigue and reduces safety. During the strike periods, the Overground, DLR, Elizabeth line, and most bus services are expected to operate as normal, though they may be significantly busier. TfL’s journey planner should be checked before travel to confirm there are no timetable or service changes. Some bus routes in east London are affected by earlier driver strikes starting at 5am on May 15.
