Overview
- All 11 Tube lines are suspended with little to no service Monday to Thursday after an early shutdown Sunday, with a phased restart expected from 8am Friday.
- DLR services will not run on Tuesday and Thursday, while the Elizabeth line and Overground continue but are expected to be extremely busy and may skip central stops at set times.
- The action, involving thousands of staff across trains, stations, signalling and maintenance, stems from disputes over pay, fatigue and shift patterns, with the union citing about 2,000 fewer Underground staff since 2018.
- TfL has tabled a 3.4% pay rise and says cutting contractual hours from 35 to 32 would be unaffordable, while both sides say they are open to talks but no breakthrough has been announced.
- Economic losses are estimated above £230 million and several major shows in London, including Coldplay and Post Malone, have been rescheduled due to the disruption.
