London Train Strike
Earlier in the month of August, London Underground drivers who are ASLEF members voted overwhelmingly in favor of striking for at least the next six months, while new strikes dates have been announced by the RMT union. 20,000 RMT workers will strike over two key weekends at the end of the summer holidays: August 26 and September 2 of 2023.
The RMT and ASLEF strikes will affect 14 train companies, some of which operate services in and out of London. These are all the lines affected:
- Avanti West Coast
