A series of six-hour tube strikes by drivers on the London Underground will start tomorrow, Tuesday April 21, writes Francesca Papp…
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union voted against the introduction of a four-day working week.
The first 24-hour strike is set to begin on 11:59am and will last until the following day.
The next lot of strikes begin on Thursday at 12pm and run until Friday 11:59am.
During the strike times, no service is expected on the Piccadilly and Circle lines, nor on the Metropolitan line between Baker Street and Aldgate. Central line services will not run between White City and Liverpool Street.
Tuesday 21 April:
• Normal services until mid-morning
• Late morning, services decrease ahead of strike
• Significant disruption on all lines from midday, when the strike begins
• The limited Tube services which do run will finish early, meaning those who have to travel should have completed their journey by 8pm
Wednesday 22 April:
• Tube services that do run will start later than normal, with no service expected before 7:30am
• Significant disruption is expected on all lines until midday
• Services will still be recovering in the afternoon and evening, meaning some disruption is likely

London Underground said there would be “significant” disruption on most tube lines but the level experienced would not be as severe as the strikes in September.
London Overground, the DLR, Elizabeth line, trams and buses expected to be busier.
TfL recommends using its journey planner to map out routes in advance of travel, and to check the status of lines in real time with its live page.
