Exact date Tube strikes will begin, bringing four days of major disruption

Bus strikes will occur simultaneously

The RMT union announced it had not reached an agreement with Transport for London in a dispute over Tube drivers' hours.

Strikes are due to take place across London from Tuesday through Friday, with additional bus strikes on certain days further adding to travel disruption.

When exactly is the Tube strike?

The first wave of strikes will start from mid-morning on Tuesday, April 21, and last until midday on Wednesday, April 22.

According to TfL, services are expected to recover throughout the afternoon, however, some disruption is likely to persist until the evening.

On Thursday, April 23, the London Underground is set to close from later morning, with ‘significant’ disruption on all lines until midday, Friday, April 24.

Services are expected to return to normal by Friday afternoon and evening.

The Elizabeth line, Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the Overground will run as normal, however, they are expected to be extremely busy.

London bus strike dates

Unfortunately, some of the Tube strikes will coincide with industrial action taken by Stagecoach Unite members working for TfL.

It will affect seven routes – 8, 25, 205, 425, N8, N25 and N205 – and severe delays and cancellations are expected if the strike goes ahead.
