People across London are being urged to avoid the London Underground today (Monday, June 6) as Tube stations shut across the capital due to strike action. Transport for London is advising commuters to avoid travel today as a 24-hour walkout from staff has forced the closure of most of the lines.
The TfL website states: “We will keep as many stations as possible open, but we expect that this strike will cause severe disruption and the closure of many Tube stations.” The action will start a minute after midnight and last for 24 hours, with disruptions into Tuesday (June 7) morning.
London Overground, National Rail, trams, and London bus services will all be running as usual however, TfL warn that services may be busier than usual. The strike should not affect the new Elizabeth line, which is not technically Tube service.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) are striking over a dispute about job losses and pensions. TfL has proposed to close 600 posts on the underground as a cost-saving measure.
