London Tube Strike June plans have moved forward on the calendar, leaving passengers facing another uncertain week. The walkouts once set for June 16 and June 18 have been called off, but the union has announced new 24-hour strike dates on June 02 and June 04 if the dispute remains unresolved.

Tube Strikes to Disrupt London Transport for a Week

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union are preparing to walk out on Tuesday and Thursday, with major travel disruption possible across London. The dispute centres on working-hour changes, including a new four-day work week opposed by RMT members. That position is also set out in RMT’s four-day week statement, while the drivers’ union Aslef has accepted the new arrangements.

Last-ditch talks are scheduled for Monday as negotiators try to reduce the planned strike action by London Underground drivers this week. For passengers, the result of those talks matters because TfL’s strike travel guidance says the whole Tube network would be affected if the strikes go ahead.

London Tube Strike June dates and service impact

The revised London Tube strike dates replace the earlier June 16 and June 18 schedule. Under the current plan, the new strike periods run from Tuesday, June 02 to Wednesday, June 03, and from Thursday, June 04 to Friday, June 05.

On Tuesday and Thursday, travellers can expect a normal Tube service only until mid-morning. From midday, significant disruption is expected across all lines. Any lines that continue operating are also expected to finish earlier than usual.

On Wednesday and Friday, Tube services are expected to begin late, with no service expected before 7:30 AM. Significant disruption is likely to continue until midday. Normal services should then start to resume, although passengers may still face delays.

Tube lines affected during the strike

According to TfL, the strikes would affect the whole Tube network. A reduced service is still expected on most lines, but passengers should prepare for significant disruption and check before travelling.

There will be no service on the Piccadilly and Circle lines. The Metropolitan line will not run between Baker Street and Aldgate, while the Central line will have no service between White City and Liverpool Street. Railway Supply has also covered similar Tube driver disruption linked to the same affected corridors.

The Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground, and tram services are expected to run normally on strike days. At the same time, these services are likely to be very busy, as passengers may use them as alternatives while Tube disruption continues.

TfL advice for passengers

Transport for London has advised travellers to check their local area and transport schedule before setting off if the strikes go ahead. That advice applies across the affected days, especially around midday disruption, early finishes, and delayed starts on the following mornings.

For passengers planning journeys this week, the main points remain the revised strike schedule, the affected Tube lines, and the expected pressure on alternative services. The London Tube Strike June timetable may still depend on Monday’s talks, but TfL advice is clear: check before travelling and allow extra time.
