London Tube strikes to begin tonight following breakdown of negotiations

London’s subway system will almost completely stop running next week because the rail workers are going on a big strike.

Services will finish early on Sunday evening and there will be very few or no services from Monday to Thursday.

Many people who travel to work will need to find different ways to get there next Friday because public transportation will not start running until later than usual.

Final discussions between the RMT union and TfL broke down on Friday afternoon.

Union members are going on strike because they are not happy with a 5% pay raise offer and other problems.

A spokesperson for RMT said: “TfL didn’t stop the strike because they didn’t make a deal that our members on the London Underground were happy with. ”

TfL could not stop the strike because they did not offer a deal that the London Underground workers were happy with.
When will the London Underground shut down.

On Friday evening, some workers will leave, but it should not cause any problems with the services.

The Tube will have problems starting when the workers go on strike on Sunday evening. More workers will join the strike next week, which will cause more disruptions to the network.

Starting from Monday to Thursday, the London Overground, Elizabeth Line and Docklands Light Railway will have some disruptions.

Here’s a schedule of when workers will go on strike and what will happen each day.

On January 5th and 6th, engineers and maintenance workers are going on strike. They will also not work any extra hours until January 12th.
Workers who control the London Underground and its power and control systems will go on strike on January 7-8.
On January 8th, all London Underground staff went on strike.
On January 9, workers who send signals and control services will go on strike.
On January 10th, all the staff at the London Underground went on strike.
On January 12th, communication workers and service controllers will go on strike.

What will happen to London Underground services?

TfL said that people who want to use the Tube on those dates will have big problems.

Here’s what the transportation group says will happen.

On Sunday, January 7th, trains will stop running earlier than usual. Customers should finish their Tube trips by 5:30pm.
From Monday, January 8 to Thursday, January 11, there will be big problems with the Tube and hardly any trains will be running.
Tube services will start late on Friday, January 12. They should be back to normal by 12pm.

Even though engineering and maintenance workers are going on strike on January 5 and 6, TfL doesn’t think that the services will be affected very much because the staff’s jobs are important.

The London subway won’t be running because of a strike.

Glynn Barton, who is in charge of making sure things run smoothly for TfL, wants to make sure that Londoners are not bothered too much by any changes. He recommends that people check their travel routes before they go.

He said: “We’re not happy that RMT wants to go on strike because we offered a 5% raise. ”

We have talked with our trade unions and told them that this is the best offer we can give while still being able to run our business safely and in a way that lasts.

We want the RMT to talk to us so that there are no problems for people in London. We want to tell people who are going somewhere during the strike to check before they go.

RMT boss Mick Lynch said that subway workers will not agree to bad offers and their working conditions being constantly made worse.

He said: “TfL’s decision to not bring back staff travel benefits and have two different levels of workers is not okay. ”

“Our members are ready to take action and we ask TfL to have important talks to avoid problems in the city. ”

Meetings took place this week to try to solve the argument.
