"London Underground and Chiltern Railways Strikes Averted"

London Underground services are expected to be severely disrupted due to a series of walkouts by union members, with little or no service anticipated from Sunday evening to Friday morning. The strike, initiated by the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) over a below-inflation pay increase, is estimated to cost the hospitality sector up to £50m. While alternative transportation options like buses and trams will continue to run, passengers are advised to complete their journeys by 17:30 GMT and expect significant disruptions throughout the week.
