00:02It's unknown at this stage how severe the disruption will be
00:05and how much of the network will be affected.
00:08London Underground says there will be some disruption on most tube lines,
00:11but the level experienced will not be as severe as the strikes last September.
00:16Only drivers belonging to the RMT union are due to strike.
00:19That's roughly half of the total number of drivers on the network.
00:23ASLEF's participation in last year's strike with the RMT affected nearly all services.
00:29Many tube drivers are set to turn up to work as usual,
00:32including members of the ASLEF trade union, which accepted the proposals.
00:37DFL said it would have a clearer idea of how much disruption was likely in the coming days.
00:43The RMT has rejected an offer for drivers to work a four-day week.
00:47Under the proposal, most drivers would see their working week reduced from 36 hours to 35 hours.
00:54Their contractual hours would remain the same because paid meal breaks would be introduced.
00:59This effectively means drivers would work longer days,
01:02but fewer days each week and fewer overall hours each week.
01:06The arrangement is currently being trialled on the Bakerloo line on a voluntary basis to test its viability.
01:12The RMT said the working day would be too long under the plans,
01:16risking driver fatigue and compromising safety.
01:19TFL said drivers could remain on a five-day week if they wanted to,
01:22pointing out that the change was voluntary.
