Overview

  • Phased walkouts will see different London Underground grades strike on specific days over a week, with the union citing pay, fatigue and shift patterns as core grievances.
  • Operational managers at Ruislip depot will stage a separate 24‑hour strike from 6pm on 5 September to 5.59pm on 6 September over pay parity.
  • Further action is scheduled across the network from 7 to 11 September, including signallers, service control, fleet, engineering, stations and trains staff on designated days.
  • RMT members on the Docklands Light Railway plan parallel strikes during the same week in a separate dispute over pay and conditions.
  • Services are expected to face widespread disruption across most Tube lines, and an economist quoted in coverage estimated potential costs to the London economy of up to about £90m per day.
