"Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union will down tools from midday on Tuesday 21 April and again from midday on Thursday 23 April, with Transport for London (TfL) warning operators and passengers to expect 'significant disruption' across the entire network."
"Operators in hospitality, retail and leisure are already contending with a fresh wave of energy price rises, persistent wage pressures and jittery consumer confidence. The loss of reliable late-night transport, industry leaders warn, risks tipping vulnerable SMEs over the edge."
"TfL has published a day-by-day forecast of likely disruption. Normal services are expected to run on Tuesday 21 April until mid-morning, with availability tapering off ahead of the midday walkout."
London's small and medium-sized businesses are preparing for significant disruption as Underground drivers plan two 24-hour strikes over working patterns. The strikes, scheduled for April 21 and 23, will coincide with a separate walkout by bus station and network traffic controllers. This disruption comes at a challenging time for the hospitality, retail, and leisure sectors, already facing rising energy prices and wage pressures. Transport for London has warned of significant service interruptions, with normal operations tapering off before the strikes and limited service expected in the following days.
