Beat the Tube Strike!

These strikes are happening due to the new "Night Tube" plans and to move station staff out of ticket offices into the platforms. Several staff members from the Rail Maritime Union (RMT) and others such as ASLEF feel these proposals are not right and wish to go against these ideas. The strikes will take place between the 28th April 2014 at 20:00 and 30th April 2014 (Last trains). Also between the 5th May 2014 and 8th May 2014, another strike will be in place. 

Trains will also operate between 0700 and 2200, and some trains will have the last service running out of Central London well before this time, at around 2100 or just before 2100. So please do arrange any travels to take place earlier unless using a bus or any other mode of transport. The London Overground, Docklands Light Railway, Tramlink and Riverboat services are not affected.
