Which Tube lines will be affected?
TfL says the strikes will affect the whole Tube network, but a reduced service will still run on most lines with significant disruption.
However, there will be no service on the:
- Piccadilly and Circle lines
- Metropolitan line between Baker Street and Aldgate
- Central line between White City and Liverpool Street
Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground, and tram services will be running normally on strike days, but are likely to be very busy.

When is the next tube strike?
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) walked out on Tuesday and will strike again on Thursday in a dispute over a four-day week.
The union says it expects fresh talks to be held next week in a bid to resolve the row.
The planned strike action will take significant parts of the network out of action for two days, lasting 24 hours – or the entirety– of each of them.
On Thursday, travellers can expect virtually no service before 6.30am, or after 9pm. There will be significant disruption in the morning, afternoon and evening.

London Mayor says RMT and TfL should return to the ‘negotiating table’
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has urged RMT bosses to return to the negotiating table as commuters brace for a second 24-hour walkout this week.
“RMT and TfL need to get round the table and sort their differences,” Mayor Khan said on BBC London Radio yesterday.
“Another strike is planned on Thursday and there is still time for RMT to call that off. The workers on strike lose a day’s salary, TfL loses revenue, businesses are losing their customers, people who have hospital appointments can’t get to them. It is a massive inconvenience,” he added.
