Tube strikes: London braces for commuter chaos as mass walkout leaves capital 'without services' in just days

Aslef, which represents around 2,000 Underground drivers, called for the walkouts in a major blow to those hoping to get to work on Thursday morning.

Transport for London (TfL) has warned that no services are expected to run on Thursday, with severe disruption and little to no service anticipated the following Tuesday.

Alternative transport options will be available during the strikes, with the Elizabeth line, DLR, and London Overground continuing to operate.

However, these services may not stop at all stations shared with the Underground.

The Elizabeth Line may witness a control passenger flow as it grapples with how to handle its 770,000 daily journeys.

The industrial action comes after Aslef seeks an improved annual pay rise for their members.

• More than 1,000 Ford staff to strike tomorrow amid warnings industrial action could 'intensify'
• 'Terrifying!' Labour kowtows to unions as it offers workers TWICE as long to strike

Negotiations between unions and TfL are ongoing, with talks involving Aslef, the RMT, the TSSA and Unite scheduled for Tuesday.

Union sources express limited optimism about resolving the dispute but are willing to make efforts to reach an agreement.

The RMT recently suspended its planned eight-day rolling action, though TfL insists no extra cash was offered as part of these negotiations.

Transport Secretary Louise Haigh praised London Mayor Sadiq Khan for engaging with the RMT.

However, Khan is not believed to have participated in face-to-face talks.

TfL's current offer stands at a 3.8 per cent increase plus a £450 lump sum payment.

It has been reported that Tube drivers could see their pay rise to a whopping £69,600.

Commuters and event-goers are advised to stay informed about the latest developments and plan alternative travel arrangements where possible, with this week's strike action impacting Chelsea's Conference League clash with Noah at Stamford Bridge.
