Your guide to train strikes today in London.
Though the rain may have finally let up, it's not all clear skies for Londoners. The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) have voted 91% in favour of a walkout in reaction to TfL's proposed plans of a four-day work week for drivers. This is down from a five-day work week, with no reduction in contractual hours, and would be voluntary - allowing those who want to continue a five-day week to do so if desired. However, RMT have voted to strike amid concerns that it would cause fatigue and safety risks among their workforce.
The first of the tube strikes is set to be 24-25 March, with more in the following weeks, with 6 weeks of strikes in total. See full dates and times below.
