Travel chaos looms: Last-gasp talks to avert London Underground strikes next week | LBC

Claire Mann, Transport for London’s chief operating officer, said: “We still believe that the points they have raised can be worked out in time, through more detailed discussions and we are continuing to talk to the union’s representatives to find a way to avoid disruption to London.”

A union spokesperson said: “Our members have raised serious concerns around fatigue, longer shifts, reduced flexibility and the impact these proposals could have in a safety-critical role.”

No service is expected on the Circle line, the Piccadilly line, the Metropolitan line between Baker Street and Aldgate, and the Central line between White City and Liverpool Street, during the strikes.

Services will run on other tube lines on both days, TfL expects.

But it warns services will begin late and finish early, with limited services before 06:30.

TfL also advises that customers complete their journeys before 21:00.

The Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground, buses and tram services are expected to run normally during the strike, but are likely to be busy.
