The first of this week’s Tube strikes in London has now come to an end – but the capital faces another day of walkouts within hours.
The second TfL strike is due to commence at one minute past midnight this evening. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) are walking out after last-ditch talks failed to resolve a dispute over the working week.
No service is expected on the Circle line, the Piccadilly line, the Metropolitan line between Baker Street and Aldgate, and the Central line between White City and Liverpool Street. Other services such as Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground, buses and trams will run as normal, but are likely to be busy, TfL warned.

Another round of 24-hours of strike action will kick off just after midnight.
Technically, strike action will run from 00:01 to 23:59 on June 4, so commuters are advised to allow extra travel time for their journeys into work, school, or otherwise. Alternate forms of transport are also recommended, as what transport that does run is expected to be rammed.
As per a TfL spokesperson: “During the strikes, we expect some disruption to journeys on all lines.
“No service is expected on the Circle line, the Piccadilly line, the Metropolitan line between Baker Street and Aldgate, and the Central line between White City and Liverpool Street.”
The spokesperson added: “We expect to run services on other Tube lines on both days, but levels will vary.”

Good morning folks – good news, strikes on the Tube network have ended. But we are looking down the barrel of another day of strike action tomorrow.
For now, all services on the London Underground are looking fine and dandy. With the exception of the Waterloo line, which resumes at 6am.
