US EditionC2c Warns Strikes Planned for the Coming Week Will Cause 'Severe Disruption'
Strikes by London Underground workers reduce weekend services across 12 lines, prompting TfL to advise completing journeys by 6 p.m., officials said.
- From Friday, September 5, Transport for London will implement planned closures through Sunday, September 7, while RMT members launch a rolling Tube strike early Sunday, ending most services by 18:00.
- RMT members are striking over pay and working conditions, with London Underground offering a 3.4% pay rise but rejecting the demand for a reduced working week.
- Multiple Tube lines will be impacted, including Bakerloo, Central, Circle, District, Hammersmith and City, Jubilee, Metropolitan, Northern, Piccadilly, Victoria, and Waterloo & City lines, with part closures from Saturday 5:30 until Sunday night; Cutty Sark station remains closed until spring 2026, and late trains from Clapham Junction to Stratford and Richmond to Willesden Junction will not run.
- Passengers are being urged to complete journeys by 18:00 and check the TfL Go app, while the Elizabeth Line and London Overground absorb extra demand; the strike could cost about 230 million, says the Centre for Economics and Business Research.
- Observers note the stoppage follows industrial action over the past year as rail operator c2c warns strikes will run Sunday, September 9 to Friday, September 12, disrupting TfL and related services.
