Tube strikes: The exact dates commuters face TFL turmoil as London faces 'few services running' for three days

Millions of passengers are expected to face travel chaos as the unions protest over pay and working conditions.

The strikes come after both unions rejected what they deemed an inadequate pay offer from Transport for London.

With multiple walkouts planned across different dates and roles, Londoners should prepare for severe disruptions to their daily commutes, particularly on key dates when drivers are set to strike.

The strikes will unfold in stages, affecting different parts of the Underground network.

RMT engineering staff will initiate the action on November 1, followed by track access controllers and control centre staff on November 3.

The most severe disruptions are expected on November 5, 7, and 12, when drivers from both unions will strike.

RMT signallers and service controllers will also walk out from November 6 to 8.

TfL warns that very few services will run on driver strike days.

The statutory corporation warned that it is "very unlikely there will be many services running at all" on November 5, 7, and 12, when drivers are on strike.

On days when station staff are striking, TfL expects to operate the network, but some stations may be closed.

Commuters are advised to plan alternative routes or work from home if possible on strike days.

However, the full extent of the disruption will become clearer closer to the strike dates.

Mick Lynch, RMT general secretary, confirmed workers would strike over unfair pay and conditions.

He said: "London Underground's pay offer falls short of what our members deserve.

"It threatens to remove collective bargaining for a growing portion of staff, pushing them into pay bands that are decided solely by management."

Aslef, representing Tube drivers, turned down a 3.8 per cent pay increase.

Finn Brennan, Aslef's organiser, said: "We don't want to go on strike... but we have been forced into this position because LU management won't sit down properly and negotiate with us."

Both unions expressed dissatisfaction with working conditions.

Transport for London has expressed disappointment over the announced strikes.

A TfL spokesman said: "It is disappointing that Aslef and the RMT have announced industrial action following our recent discussions over pay, terms and conditions."

TfL also maintains that the offer is fair, arguing: "We have made a revised offer with an average uplift of 4.6 per cent which rewards our staff for their hard work and benefits the lowest-paid staff the most."

The transport body added: "We are engaging with our unions in good faith, having increased our offer since talks began, and have invited our unions to meet again next week."
