Two London Underground services won’t be running any services on Tuesday and Thursday if a deal to prevent strikes isn’t reached. On Tuesday (June 2) the tube is set to be disrupted across multiple lines from 12.01am until 11.59pm, unless the industrial action by The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union is called off at the last minute, as it was last time.

There’s expected to be no service on the Circle line, and the Piccadilly line, with nine London Underground lines in partial or disrupted operation. The Metropolitan line will be running, but not between Baker Street and Aldgate. The Central line will also be in operation, but with no services between White City and Liverpool Street. The Bakerloo, District, Hammersmith & City, Jubilee, Northern, Victoria, and Waterloo & City lines will be running normal routes, but with a heavily reduced timetable and customers warned to expect services to be much busier than usual.

The Elizabeth line, which is technically not part of London Underground, will be operating as normal. The DLR, London Overground, buses and trams services will also be running though they may also be considerably busier.

Transport for London (TfL) has advised customers to complete their journeys before 9pm on both days, with services limited before 6.30am, and services starting late and finishing early.

Walkouts are also set to take place on Thursday between 12.01am and 11.59pm, with the same routes affected.

The industrial action is in response to issues including a new four-day week which the RMT has said its members do not agree with.

The drivers’ union Aslef has accepted the new arrangements.

TfL’s chief operating officer, Claire Mann, said: “We still believe that the points they have raised can be worked out in time, through more detailed discussions and we are continuing to talk to the union’s representatives to find a way to avoid disruption to London.”

An RMT spokesperson said: “Our members have raised serious concerns around fatigue, longer shifts, reduced flexibility and the impact these proposals could have in a safety-critical role.”

A union source told the PA News agency that Tube drivers had “very real” concerns about spending longer hours in the driver cab, becoming more fatigued, losing flexibility around their shifts and the impact that could have on a role where safety has to come first.

TfL has insisted it would never compromise safety, adding that the new shift system was voluntary.
