Overview

• RMT’s rolling action begins Friday evening with depot staff, with little or no Tube service expected from Sunday 7 to Thursday 11 September.
• TfL says any services that run will start after 8am, with normal operations expected to return by late morning on Friday 12 September.
• The DLR will shut on Tuesday 9 and Thursday 11 September in a linked dispute, while the Elizabeth line, London Overground and buses will operate but face heavy crowding.
• TfL has offered a 3.4% pay rise and rejects cutting the 35‑hour week to 32 hours as unaffordable, while the RMT cites pay, fatigue and extreme shift patterns.
• Analysts estimate a direct £230m hit to London and events such as Coldplay’s Wembley shows have been rescheduled; Aslef has accepted TfL’s offer and will not strike.
