Tube Strikes In London Underground Warning: Here's How Many Hours You Should Adjust Your Travels

London Underground closed for four days due to strikes; commuters urged to expect delays and plan alternative travel from 7-12 September.

London's Underground is bracing for a week of widespread disruption as strike action by Tube workers brought services to an early close on Sunday, 7 September and shuts the network entirely from Monday, 8 September until 8am on Friday, 12 September.

The strikes involve around 10,000 members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union, who are demanding a shorter working week alongside pay rises. Transport for London (TfL) has offered a 3.4% pay increase, which it says aligns with inflation and industry standards, but has refused to consider reducing the current 35-hour working week.
