3 new dates have been announced for tube strikes on the same issues as previously.
The 3 new dates announced today, subject always to prior settlement are:
24 hours each time from 9pm
on the 27th of January, the 15th of February and the 17th of February.
Hi, sorry to sound ignorant, may I ask a few questions regarding your post?
So have I got this right -
The strike is from 9pm on the 15th February to 9pm on the 16th February.
THEN
9pm on the 17th February to 9pm on 18th February.
Does this include the Heathrow express? I have never been to london before and am not sure if the Heathrow express is part of the Underground system
Thank you
Hi Emma
Thank you so much for your reply.
We are needing to get from Paddington Station to Heathrow Airport on the 18th, at about 3/4pm, as this is our last day. Perhaps we should plan on leaving earlier? Our Fight is at 9.15pm
From what I can see, We will only be affected dramatically by the strike on the 16th, as we have tickets for Wicked, we now need to work out how to get to the Apollo Victoria Theater without the tubes.
We can spend the day shopping on the 16th, as there are shops in our area that we don't need the tubes for, so that works out well.
We do have to get to Piccadilly on the morning of the 17th for the Sherlock tour, would that date, in the am, be dramatically affected by the strike too, how much of an impact will there be on that date?
We are staying in the Kensington area and Bayswater is our closest tube station.
Is there a website I can use to keep up to date with the strike action?
Any luck, it will all be resolved and no one will be affected.
Cheers, have a great day/night :)
Hi Emma
Thank you so much for your reply, puts my mind at ease a bit
Thanks again,
Have a great day/night
These three strikes look well on the way to being cancelled. More developments as they develop.
Thanks for the update, have been trying to keep up with the news articles on the net.....I am keeping my fingers crossed they get called off
All unions have called off the strikes except one and they meet on Monday to decide.
So from what I read, the strike for 26/1 has been called off, no word on cancelling the two in February BUT is sounds like they have added another strike day on the 7th February
From this news article - http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-35399832
"Two more 24-hour strikes have been arranged for 15 and 17 February.
An additional strike on 7 February has also been called in a separate RMT row over jobs and station staffing".
I agree - no strikes today or tomorrow but no news about February.
