The RMT union has again called a strike on the Tube in response to London Undergrounds modernisation plans. This is despite us offering significant changes. There also remains a guarantee of a job for all our staff who want one. For more information on our modernisation plans please visit www.tfl.gov.uk/futuretube. If it goes ahead, the strike will affect services from around 9.30pm on the evening of Monday 28 April. Please try to complete your journey as early as possible on Monday evening. The strike will disrupt services throughout all of Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 April. We will run as many Tube services as we can but there will be disruption and some lines may have a limited service. Some stations will be closed. Please check the table below but remember that the situation may change throughout the day. Services will not return to normal until Thursday 1 May. Customers are advised to check www.tfl.gov.uk to plan an alternative route or method of transport. Remember that DLR, London Overground, trams and other rail services will be operating as normal, as will buses and river bus services where there will also be some extra services operating. All these services will be busy. Cycling and walking may be other practical options.

A reduced Heathrow Express service will run on Tuesday 29 April and Wednesday 30 April due to separate strike action by the RMT. Heathrow Express plans to run two trains an hour between Heathrow and Paddington and back. Check www.heathrowexpress.com for more information. Those members of London Underground staff who are on duty during the strike, alongside other public transport workers including TfL Ambassadors and volunteers, will be doing their very best to keep London moving and open for business. They will be on hand to provide customers with travel information and advice on the ground. During the strike you can get regular updates and the very latest information on how services are running at www.tfl.gov.uk or by following our Twitter accounts: @TfLTravelAlerts @TfLTrafficNews @TfLBusAlerts you can also follow your particular line - e.g. @victorialine - see details in the table below.

Advice for Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 April The information in the table below is not a complete or final list of the services that will be running but is intended to help plan journeys in advance. Please check for the latest updates before you travel. If strike action does take place and where we can operate services, trains will run from around 7.00am, or as soon as possible after that, and they are expected to conclude around 11.00pm, with no service beyond that. However, customers are advised that the last services from central London may depart significantly earlier than this, at around 9.30pm. We will run as many Tube services as we can but some lines may have only a limited service, and some sections will be closed. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to run all the planned services set out below and the situation may change throughout the day. In addition to those stations listed here as closed, some others may also need to close at times. Unfortunately, sections of lines not set out below are unlikely to have a Tube service.
