Customers are being told to avoid travelling tomorrow (Mon June 6) as 24 hours of Underground strikes begin.

Transport for London (TfL) has warned commuters to be mindful of a limited number of Tube stations which will be open for a reduced number of hours.

National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers Union will take part in 24 hours of strike action over an ongoing dispute about pensions, jobs and conditions.

While some train services will run, TfL expects severe disruption across the network from the start of service on Monday until Tuesday morning, with many stations – especially those in central and south London – closed.

Those stations that can be opened are set to do so for a limited time from 8am to 6pm.

TfL’s chief operating officer Andy Lord said: “I’d like to apologise to London for the impact this strike will have on journeys tomorrow and on Tuesday morning.

"We know it’s going to be damaging to London and the economy, at a time when public transport is playing a crucial role in the capital’s recovery.

"While our focus is always on helping everyone travel around London whenever they want, the expected impact of the RMT’s action means we have to advise people to only travel tomorrow if necessary, as many stations may be closed.

"Alternatives to the Tube, including the bus and rail networks, are likely to be much busier than usual and we expect the severe disruption caused by this strike to continue into the morning of Tuesday, June 7.

“No changes have been proposed to pensions and nobody has or will lose their job as a result of the proposals we have set out.

"My message to the RMT is this – it’s not too late to call off tomorrow’s strike action. Working with us to find a resolution is the best course of action, avoiding the disruption this strike will cause to Londoners and the economy.”
