Tube Service Restored as TfL Puts Forward ‘No‑Strings’ 3.4% Pay Rise and Schedules Talks With RMT

RMT is pushing for a move toward a 32‑hour week to address fatigue ahead of a Wednesday meeting with TfL.

Overview

  • All 11 Underground lines reopened on Friday morning, with TfL saying a good service was expected on each line by late morning.
  • TfL board papers set for Monday confirm a final 3.4% increase in base pay with no conditions and invite union leaders to talks on Wednesday.
  • RMT chief Eddie Dempsey warned further walkouts remain possible if negotiations do not deliver serious progress on shift patterns and fatigue.
  • Travel and economic impacts were pronounced, with the London Ambulance Service reporting a 44% rise in bicycle collisions and hospitality bookings down 67% during the strike week.
  • Most planned First Bus/Unite strikes this weekend were called off, but some routes may still be affected, and separate engineering works will partially close District and Piccadilly line sections.
