London travel chaos warning as bus and Tube strikes threaten to coincide

  • Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union are scheduled to strike for two days in April, May and June over working hours, potentially causing widespread travel disruption in London.
  • Separately, Unite union members, who are bus station and network traffic controllers for Transport for London (TfL), are being balloted for industrial action over roster changes.
  • Unite stated that any strike action by its members could coincide with the RMT's planned Tube walkouts, potentially leading to significant travel chaos.
  • Unite's General Secretary, Sharon Graham, criticised the proposed rota changes, claiming they would negatively impact members' work/life balance and put them at risk of disciplinary action.
  • Two 24-hour strikes by London Underground drivers, previously planned for next week, were called off after progress was made in talks between the RMT and London Underground.
