Train and Tube strike dates: When are the TfL and rail walkouts?

Rail and Tube passengers face day of chaos tomorrow as unions shut down Underground in walkout over pay with more chaos to come later this week – see if your journey will be affected

  • London Underground strike on Wednesday will lead to almost no Tube services
  • Then separate National Rail action will impact trains on Thursday and Saturday 

Britain’s long-suffering rail passengers are set to endure a miserable few days of travel thanks to a series of strikes that will cause mass disruption around the UK.

The first industrial action will see members of the RMT and Aslef unions walk out on the London Underground tomorrow, leading to almost zero Tube service.

This will impact the network into Thursday morning – when a separate strike by staff at 14 train operating companies will begin and affect National Rail services.

This strike – which is happening despite the RMT calling off its own Network Rail walkout – will take place on Thursday and Saturday, and lead to reduced services.

Many operators are only running trains between 7am and 7pm on Thursday and Saturday, while some routes in the UK will get no services at all on either day.

Here, MailOnline looks at how this week’s rail industrial action will affect you:

TUBE STRIKE – WEDNESDAY 

When is the next Tube strike?

A strike on the London Underground is planned for Wednesday. This will also affect services into Thursday morning.

The strike by members of the RMT and Aslef unions relates to an ongoing dispute over pay, pensions, job losses and working conditions. 

Will Tube services be affected on Tuesday?

No, with one exception that the last District line service from Upminster to Richmond on Tuesday will leave at the earlier time of 11.13pm.

How will Tube services be affected on Wednesday?

Little or no service is expected across the entire Tube network on Wednesday. 

Based on previous strike days, there could be infrequent shuttle services on the outskirts of some lines, but these should not be replied upon.

Will London Overground services run on Wednesday? 

London Overground services are expected to run mostly as normal on Wednesday, but they will be much busier than usual and queuing systems could be in place.

Transport for London also warned the closure of Tube stations could mean some services will be unable to stop at all stations or run to their normal destination.

How will Elizabeth line services be affected on Wednesday?  

No service on the Elizabeth line is expected between Paddington and Abbey Wood or Stratford before 7.30am or after 10.30pm on Wednesday. 

Services will also be much busier than normal and queuing systems may be in place, and trains may not be able to stop at all stations due to the closure of Tube stations.

Will Docklands Light Railway run on Wednesday?

DLR services and trams should run as normal on Wednesday, although the closure of Underground stations may mean some services will be unable to stop at all stations.

TfL also warned there will be no step-free access for the DLR at Bank on Wednesday – and if the station is able to open, the Monument entrance will have to be used.

Will the Tube strike affect buses on Wednesday?

Bus services should run as normal on Wednesday but will be much busier, particularly from mainline railway stations. 

How will Tube and Overground services be affected on Thursday?

On Thursday, Tube services will start later than normal and will be disrupted through the morning.

London Overground, trams and DLR trains are expected to run as normal. 

How will Elizabeth line services be affected on Thursday? 

There is also a separate National Rail strike starting on Thursday which will affect the Elizabeth line. 

Services between Paddington and Abbey Wood/Stratford will start later than normal on Thursday.

There will also be no Elizabeth line between Shenfield and Brentwood before 7am and after 11pm, and no service between Maidenhead and Reading before 7am and after 7pm. There will be no westbound service from Paddington until 7am.

Will the Tube be affected by the National Rail strike on Saturday?

Most TfL services should run as normal on Saturday, however there are various engineering works taking place which could impact journeys.

In addition, the Elizabeth line will be affected by the National Rail strike on both days – with roughly the same service patterns as outlined in the above answer.
