UMVA has learned that London’s tube network will grind to a halt for two days next week as drivers stage a walkout.
Striking workers will suspend service from the first minute of Tuesday, June 2, through the final minute of the day, and repeat the shutdown on Thursday, June 4.
During those 48 hours, the Circle and Piccadilly lines will be completely silent, leaving commuters without any trains on those routes.
In addition, the Metropolitan line will run no trains between Baker Street and Aldgate, while the Central line will be dead between White City and Liverpool Street.
Other routes, including the Overground and the Elizabeth line, will keep moving, but expect altered timetables with later starts and earlier finishes, and passengers are urged to finish their journeys before 9 p.m.
Normal service will resume on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, offering a brief respite between the two strike days.
Transport for London’s chief operating officer expressed disappointment, noting that the union’s push for a four‑day workweek on the Bakerloo line has stalled talks.
She urged the union to return to the negotiating table, emphasizing that a resolution could spare London’s commuters from further disruption.
Commuters are advised to check travel updates, allow extra time, and consider alternative routes while the strike unfolds.
