Please see below a message from London Underground.
Station staff who are members of the RMT and TSSA unions are currently planning to strike from 18.00 on Sunday 8 January for 24 hours. If the strike does go ahead, it will mean severely reduced services on Sunday evening and Monday. We will try to run as many services as possible, but customers are advised to complete their journeys by 18.00 on Sunday, and that most Zone 1 stations are likely to be closed throughout the action.
Should the strike go ahead:
- Although National Rail services would not be directly affected by the strike, there would be no Underground services from key interchange stations such as Victoria, King’s Cross, Waterloo, Paddington, Euston, Bank and London Bridge
- Piccadilly line services would still run between Hammersmith and Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 and 3, but there would be no service to Terminals 4 or 5
- There would be no service at all on the Victoria or Waterloo & City lines, and all other lines would be severely affected with limited services in outer London
- For customers travelling to Canary Wharf from central London, Docklands Light Railway (DLR) services will be running, however they will be busier than usual. River services will also link central London and Canary Wharf
- Customers using the DLR are being advised that there may be changes to services towards Bank, with trains instead terminating at Shadwell or Tower Gateway
- Roads and rail services would be expected to be busier than usual, particularly those bus routes serving major interchange stations.
All customers are advised to check before they travel at tfl.gov.uk/tube-strike and use the live update services @TfLTravelAlerts, @TfLTrafficNews and @TfLBusAlerts on Twitter.
