- A 24-hour Tube strike by the RMT union is scheduled for Thursday 4 June, after last-ditch talks with Transport for London (TfL) failed to resolve a dispute over working hours. It follows a 24-hour walkout on Tuesday.
- The union opposes new working hour proposals, including a four-day week, citing concerns over fatigue, longer shifts, reduced flexibility, and potential impacts on safety.
- TfL maintains that the proposed changes for a four-day working week are voluntary, would not reduce contractual hours, and aim to improve reliability and flexibility at no extra cost.
- Commuters face significant disruption across the Tube network on strike days, with virtually no service expected before 6:30 am or after 9 pm.
- Specific lines such as Waterloo & City, Central, Victoria, Jubilee, Northern, and Piccadilly will have no service, while the Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground, and tram services will run but are anticipated to be very busy.
