London Tube Strikes March to June 2026

Here we go again,

The RMT (the London tube train drivers) have announced a series of tube strike dates-

24–25 March (12:00 Tuesday - 11:59 Wednesday)

26–27 March (12:00 Thursday - 11:59 Friday)

21–22 April (12:00 Tuesday - 11:59 Wednesday)

23–24 April (12:00 Thursday - 11:59 Friday)

19–20 May (12:00 Tuesday - 11:59 Wednesday)

21–22 May (12:00 Thursday - 11:59 Friday)

If they go ahead substantial disruption can be expected.

UPDATE- 18 March- The March dates are now cancelled to allow for negotiations, BUT extra dates on 16 to 18 June have been added.

That encompasses 4 of the 5 days I am in London. I hope it’s resolved.

So I land at Heathrow at 7 AM on the 25th and have a train to Paris later that day.

It looks like both the Heathrow Express annd Elizabeth line will be options. I’ll just have to figure out how to get from Paddington or wherever to the Eurostar station. Luckily, I’ve given myself a lot of time for this connection.

I’m doing London on the second half of the trip and managed to avoid the strikes there

You won't have too much trouble getting from Heathrow to St Pancras - take an Elizabeth Line train to Farringdon and then a Thameslink train to St Pancras. Neither route is affected by the strikes.

Thank you Philip. I had already figured the Elizabeth line was my best bet but I wasn’t sure where to change that sounds like it’s going to be the best option.

I appreciate the help

Is there a site that lists all planned train strikes in England, not just London? We are coming 2nd half of May.

As the upcoming strikes are by just RMT drivers, ie not other station staff or indeed drivers in ASLEF (or even no union) the disruption may be less than would otherwise be the case although some lines will be affected more than others.

Reuters news service reported on March 18 that London Tube ​drivers have suspended the planned series of ​strikes ​due to begin later ⁠this ​month, with trade ​union officials citing progress in ​talks. More talks will take place and the dispute is not resolved, meaning the strikes could still happen.
