Are London’s Tube and TfL services affected by today’s train strike?

Two major transport strikes are set to cause widespread disruption across the UK this week.

The first, on Wednesday 27 July, will see 40,000 members of the RMT union walk out for 24 hours. This is expected to cause major cancellations and delays not just on Wednesday but into Thursday as the network struggles to recover from the staff shortages.

The second strike is on Saturday 30 July, when train drivers across eight rail companies who are members of the Aslef union walk out for 24 hours.

Passengers are being urged not to travel by train on these days unless absolutely necessary.
