How the Elizabeth line will be impacted by London Underground strikes this week

After several months without tube strikes, members of the RMT union have voted for a week-long period of industrial action set to begin on Friday.

Services could be cancelled across the London Underground network as all lines will be impacted.

Members will start their walkout over pay, working hours and disputes with their employer, Transport for London (TfL), on Friday, September 5.

Tube services will be severely disrupted, with little to no service expected from Sunday, September 7, until Thursday, September 11.

Any services running between Monday, September 8 and Friday, September 12, will start later than usual, with no service before 8am.

There will also be no service on the DLR on Tuesday, September 9 and Thursday, September 11.

As the Elizabeth line isn’t considered part of the Underground, services will run as normal during the strikes.

However, commuters may face the knock-on effects, and it is likely to be busier while the Underground lines are closed.

TfL has warned that it could face delays and may not stop at certain stations served by tube lines. 

The London Overground lines, National Rail, and London bus and tram services will all run as normal during the strikes, but are likely to be extremely busy.

TfL advises commuters to plan, check before you travel and allow extra time to complete your journey.
