London tube strikes: Two strikes in one week to cause four days of travel chaos

Alright Londoners, you know the score by now – pump up your bike tires because it’s time for another Tube strike.

The capital will be hit by two Tube strikes this week, however the disruptions are expected to span across four days.

London Underground workers will stage two 24-hour walkouts – one starting at 6:30pm on Tuesday, and another starting at 6:30pm on Thursday.

Despite the strikes only lasting for 24 hours, do not count on any tube running for most of Wednesday and Friday.

Due to the mass disruption caused it is also likely that catching a tube train in the brief window during Thursday will be very difficult.

Oh, and the seldom used Emirates Airline will still be running as well (yay!).

These strikes are once again due to disputes over the proposed night-tube rotas for train drivers.

This all means that Londoners might see four straight days of travel chaos.

We know what you’re thinking: ‘It’s August, I’ll just bike or walk to work.’

Sorry to break it to you, but the south east of England is forecast to experience showers throughout the week.
