What Tube and London bus strikes are happening in June? All the upcoming walkout dates

Londoners are set for more travel misery with both Tube and bus strikes set to hit the capital’s transport network.

Two further planned strikes in May were called off, but the RMT will walk out this week after the union failed to make sufficient progress in talks with TfL.

The 24-hour walkouts are currently due to take place between midnight and 11.59pm on Tuesday June 2 and Thursday June 4.

As such, there will be severe disruption to the entire network all day on Tuesday and Thursday, with some disruption on the mornings on Wednesday June 3 and Friday June 5 while services return to normal.

The previous industrial action in April ran from midday to midday on two separate days.

If the strikes have a similar impact as in April, there will be severe disruption across all major Tube lines.

There will be a reduced service running across most lines, with some lines being particularly badly hit.

Buses and National Rail services will offer alternative routes across the city, while e-bike hire rates rose significantly during the previous walkouts.

The Elizabeth line, Overground and DLR should also still be running with a good service, though they will likely be much busier than usual.

The RMT are striking following the proposed introduction of a compressed four-day working week for Tube drivers.

The union says that the move raises concerns about shift lengths, working time arrangements and the “potential impact on fatigue and safety.”

TfL has stressed that no driver would be forced to accept the four-day week, as it was voluntary, and it aimed to improve their work-life balance, while improving the reliability of services.

The Aslef union has already accepted the deal, highlighting to its members benefits such as an extra 35 days away from work a year, average weekly rostered hours being cut to 34 from current average of 36, more time at home and less time travelling to and from work.

The Unite union has announced fresh strike action in a bitter dispute around scheduling and driver fatigue.

Over 300 drivers at the East London Bus & Coach Company, which is part of Stagecoach, went on strike from Wednesday, May 27 to Friday, May 29. They are planning to walk out again from Thursday, June 11 to Sunday, June 14.

The union says the industrial action will impact services that operate from Bow bus garage and include those that go to central London and Westfield Stratford City shopping centre.

The affected routes are: 8, N8, 25, N25, 45, 205, N205 and 425.
