The London Underground is set to face significant disruptions in the upcoming weeks due to planned tube strikes by the ASLEF union. Despite the RMT union canceling their strikes last minute after receiving an improved pay offer, ASLEF members will still be participating in strikes on November 7 and November 12. This will result in a complete shutdown of the Tube network on those days.
In addition to the strike dates, ASLEF members will also be partaking in an overtime ban from November 3 to November 16. This means that there will be a significant impact on train services during this period. The strike action is expected to cause severe disruptions on the London Underground lines, with little to no services running on the specified strike dates.
TfL has advised passengers to plan ahead and check for alternative transportation options during the strike days. The disruptions are likely to affect commuters and travelers, so it is essential to stay informed about the latest updates on London public transport.

ASLEF representatives have expressed their disappointment with LU management for failing to engage in negotiations, leading to the decision to proceed with strike action. Despite efforts to resolve the dispute without a strike, the lack of progress in discussions has prompted the union members to take action.
TfL’s Chief Operating Officer, Claire Mann, has urged the trade unions to reconsider the strike action and accept the fair offer presented by the management. The goal is to avoid disruptions and inconvenience to passengers traveling on the London Underground network. It is crucial for passengers to stay informed and plan their journeys accordingly during the strike period.
