In response to the changes and modernisation we have announced for London Underground, I am sorry to tell you the and TSSA unions have called two 48‑hour strikes.

Travel advice

Tube StrikeIf the strikes go ahead, Tube services will be affected from:

  • About 21:30 on Tuesday 4 February until the morning of Friday 7 February
  • About 21:30 on Tuesday 11 February until the morning of Friday 14 February

We will work hard to run as many trains as possible, but there will be disruption. TfL Ambassadors and volunteers will be on hand to offer travel advice. The DLR, London Overground, and other rail services will operate normally but will be busier than usual. We will enhance our bus services on key routes and you may wish to consider cycling, if possible. Walking may be an option for shorter journeys.

Future of the Tube

The changes that we are proposing to make will mean our staff will be more visible and available, with stations staffed and controlled at all times. We will introduce a 24‑hour service on core parts of the Tube at weekends from 2015. For details of our plans, please visit tfl.gov.uk/futuretube

Should the RMT and TSSA strike action go ahead, LU will keep as many stations open and run as many trains as possible.

However, there will be disruption to journeys on Wednesday and Thursday.

Buses and other modes of transport may also be very busy.

A 24-hour strike has also been called by the leadership of the ASLEF union at Tramlink.

The dispute is between the operator of Tramlink, First, and the ASLEF union over the dismissal of two drivers.

Should the strike go ahead, it is likely to cause disruption to Tramlink services on Wednesday 5 February.

Those public transport workers who are on duty during the strike will be doing their very best to keep London moving and open for business.

TfL asked customers for their patience during what may be difficult journeys.

TfL Ambassadors and volunteers will also be on hand to provide customers with travel information and advice on the ground.

TfL urged all customers to plan ahead and to check before they travel at tfl.gov.uk and by following @TfLTravelAlerts, @TfLTrafficNews and @TfLBusAlerts on Twitter.

TfL is writing to hundreds of businesses across London to ask them to be flexible and make it easy for staff to cycle to work, and to allow staff to wear casual clothes on the day.

Roads and the Congestion Charge

To help keep traffic flowing, the Congestion Charge will remain in operation throughout the strike;
TfL will be delaying or curtailing road works on major London roads wherever possible and has encouraged all London boroughs to take similar measures on their network. TfL will also work with the Metropolitan Police to minimise the impact of congestion;
TfL will be working to keep traffic flowing around major transport hubs;
Londoners and commuters are encouraged to keep journeys by car to a minimum to enable public transport to move freely.
