More Tube strikes are set to take place in London this week (18-24 May 2026), bringing fresh disruption to commuters.
Last April, Tube strikes took place as members of The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) expressed their unhappiness with a compressed work week that they claim Transport for London (TfL) are trying to “impose” on its members.
For their part, TfL said the four-day change was completely optional.
RMT’s latest strikes are planned in May and June, with the next ones being just days away. These “disruptions” have been planned for weeks.
When are the Tube strikes taking place this week?
They’re set for:
- Tuesday, 19 May (midday) until Wednesday, 20 May (midday).
