Following disruption to services last Saturday, 1st October, on Wednesday, 5th and Saturday, 8th October there will be further disruption to some services on London Overground, the Elizabeth Line, and parts of London Underground due to planned industrial action by the RMT and ASLEF unions.

Although most Transport for London (TfL) services will not be affected by the industrial action, the strikes will affect different transport services on different days both on Wednesday and over next weekend.

Customers should leave more time for their journeys and check before they travel using TfL’s real-time travel tools, including status updates, Journey Planner and TfL Go. Bus services are unaffected by the strikes and will run as normal, but they may be busier than usual.

Trish Ashton, TfL’s Director of Rail and Sponsored Services, said:

“Customers will still be able to travel during these strikes using the majority of the TfL network, but we remind them to plan ahead and check before they travel. There is expected to be disruption on some of London’s rail services as part of this strike action with small parts of the Tube also affected, so customers should check the latest status updates ahead of making their journeys.”
