There is expected to be little to no service on the Jubilee Line on 14 June due to strike action by the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union and the train drivers’ union, Aslef.
Unions are objecting to new Jubilee Line timetables put into place by Transport for London (TfL) to extend peak services.
When is the strike?
A 24-hour walkout by drivers is due to begin at 12.01am on 14 June.
What lines are affected?
There is expected to be no service on the Jubilee Line throughout 14 June and into the early hours of 15 June.
The strike will affect the Jubilee line, however Bakerloo and Metropolitan line services in north-west London are expected to be extremely busy.
What can commuters expect?
Other Tube lines will be unaffected, although some Metropolitan line services that terminate at Baker Street will call additionally at Willesden Green. Expect the Bakerloo and Metropolitan lines in north-west London to be extremely busy.
Transport for London (TfL) will be running extra buses to help deal with additional numbers of passengers on the network.
Why are the strikes taking place?
The strikes have been called by RMT and the train drivers’ union, Aslef, over timetable changes imposed by TfL. The new timetable on the Jubilee Line will extend peak service on the busiest sections of the Jubilee Line by an hour, benefiting thousands of passengers per day, according to TfL.
The unions are concerned about the impact of the changes on drivers’ work-life balance, as the new timetable will “ride roughshod over current rostering agreements”, according to a statement by RMT.
Is there any chance the strikes will be cancelled?
Last ditch talks are taking place this morning in an attempt to resolve the dispute without resorting to strike action.
