TfL London Tube strikes

The second of this week's 24-hour Tube strikes will begin at 7.30am on Thursday bringing further disruption to London commuters struggling to get home.

“Customers are advised to avoid travelling in the early morning on Friday, check before they travel and aim to make journeys from mid-morning.” “While customers should prepare for no service throughout the day on Thursday, if any service is provided it will not continue into the evening and all journeys will need to be completed by 6.30pm.” RMT general secretary Mick Lynch accused mayor Sadiq Khan of playing to the gallery after he told strikers to “wake up and smell the coffee” because industrial action would not make securing a deal with the government any easier.

TfL said it remained available for talks but was not expecting the strike to be averted. The RMT has accused the government of “cynically engineering a crisis”, and said Khan needed to stand up for transport workers. The dispute comes as London grapples with the financial crisis caused by plunging fares revenues during the pandemic.

More disruption is set for Thursday, as Londoners continue to feel the impact of Tuesday's action.

Only a limited shuttle service operated on a small section of some lines, causing buses to be overcrowded and roads gridlocked. The disruption continued into Wednesday, with Transport for London (TfL) bosses advising passengers not to travel until at least 07:30 GMT. Reduced services followed for much of the day. Transport bosses are urging people to work from home or use other modes of travel, as the RMT union confirmed the strike action would go ahead.

“It will also damage TfL’s revenues at a time when TfL is already under huge financial strain due to the pandemic,” they said. “It is this political failure that has left tube workers with no choice but to strike this week. I hope that they will be able to get to work without too much of an inconvenience.” Network Rail said a suspected power supply failure had led to a “complete loss of signalling” in Ashtead, Surrey. The union said members were “solidly supporting” industrial action with picket lines outside tube stations. The entire underground was suspended during the Tuesday morning rush hour, although limited services returned later on a few lines.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “Sadiq Khan should be standing up to Tory ministers who want to needlessly attack jobs, pensions and conditions of key transport workers.

However, TfL says: “Services will be running normally but will be busier than usual. TfL is working to mitigate the impact of the strikes but disruption is inevitable.” Allow more time for your journey and consider alternatives.
