Your guide to train strikes today in London. 

Train, rail, and tube disruption has become the norm in London, with ASLEF unions, TFL and the RMT in continuous conversation over pay, working conditions and job security, as strikes continue to roll out across the nation.

With a city harder to navigate, we're sharing more on train strikes near you, and on major networks, as well as great suggestions for things to do nearby.

Which London tube lines are striking?

Members of both ASLEF (tube drivers' union) and the RMT (most other tube workers) rejected a pay offer from Transport for London in October.

As of 1st November, RMT have received another, improved pay offer and have suspended their upcoming strikes scheduled between 1st and 8th November, which included station staff on the 5th November and signallers from 6th to 8th November.

As of 5th November, ASLEF have also suspended upcoming 24-hour walkouts of their tube drivers due to take place on Thursday 7th November and Tuesday 12th November 2024. The dispute over pay is still being discussed but the latest offer has been received positively.

No tube strikes are now planned.

When are the London train strikes and what networks will be affected?

No train strikes are currently scheduled. Hoorah.

16 train companies are usually affected by ASLEF and RMT strikes, which affected services both in and out of the city. The lines most commonly involved:

Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, East Midlands Railway, Great Western Railway, LNER, TransPennine Express, C2C (not involved in ASLEF), Greater Anglia, Gatwick Express, Great Northern, Southern, Thameslink, Southeastern, South Western Railway, Chiltern Railways, Northern Trains.

How long are train and tube strikes expected to last? 

Disruption is difficult to predict, and each network has their own expected level of service. We recommend checking each operator's website for the most up-to-date and accurate information available.

When it comes to strikes overall, train drivers accepted a 4.75% pay rise in September. Tube workers and drivers are also considering pay rises offered in November 2024.
