US EditionTfL Tube Strikes September 2025: Will the London Underground Strikes Be Called Off?
RMT union members plan rolling strikes over pay and working hours, risking near shutdown of London Underground and Docklands Light Railway services next week.
- The Rail, Maritime and Transport union has ordered a rolling strike from Sunday, September 7, with Transport for London warning services could be severely affected through Thursday, September 11, while negotiators meet on Tuesday to avert strikes.
- RMT leaders say the dispute centres on reducing the 35-hour working week, while TfL has offered a 3.4% pay rise but calls a shorter week impractical and unaffordable.
- From Monday, September 8, little or no Tube service runs until Thursday, September 11, with no Docklands Light Railway trains on September 9 and 11; the Elizabeth line and London Overground stay operational but extremely busy.
- Coldplay and organisers decided to reschedule Wembley Stadium shows from 7 and 8 September to 6 and 12 September, with returned tickets on sale at Ticketmaster from 11am Wednesday, September 3, and the National Television Awards at the O2 on September 10 also affected.
- With a virtual shutdown looming, London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan faces pressure as BusinessLDN deputy chief executive Barua warns strikes will harm economic growth, though normal service resumes Friday, September 12.
