00:00Tube drivers are set to stage a series of strikes over the next few months in a dispute over a
00:04four-day week, the RMT union has announced. The walkouts will take place on eight separate days
00:09between Thursday, November the 26th and Thursday, February the 25th. Unless a deal is struck,
00:15the 24-hour strikes will begin at noon on the following dates, 26th of November, 17th of
00:21December, 19th of December, 4th of January, 6th of January, 17th of February, 23rd of February
00:28and the 25th of February. The RMT union represents just under half of London underground drivers
00:37and as only its members are taking strike action, the disruption is expected to result in severe
00:42delays and targeted line closures rather than a complete city-wide shutdown. Well, the Elizabeth
00:49Line, DLR and entire London Overground should be operating as usual, but be warned, services will
00:56likely be extremely busy. National Rail may be a better alternate route. Thameslink covers parts
01:02of central London and other operators offer services to most areas of greater London. Buses are also
01:08running as usual, but they too will be busy, especially during peak hours. Use the TfL Go
01:14or CityMapper app to track live bus arrivals and disruption.
