Customer advice on ASLEF strike action

22 August 2014
"Our staff and volunteers are working hard this morning to keep London moving and I would advise our customers where possible, please plan ahead and check before you travel"

London Underground (LU) is operating reduced service on the Central line due to a unnecessary strike called by the leadership of the ASLEF union, services on the Waterloo and City line are also not running.

TfL has deployed extra buses on key routes and TfL Ambassadors and volunteers are helping customers with travel information at key Underground and bus stations.

Other Tube services, the DLR and the London Overground are operating normally. These services are likely to be busier than usual and journeys made outside peak hours are likely to be easier.

Nigel Holness, Operations Director for London Underground, said:
'Despite some progress being made during talks, ASLEF leadership have decided to press ahead with this unnecessary strike action and disrupt customers journeys this morning. Our staff and volunteers are working hard this morning to keep London moving and I would advise our customers where possible, please plan ahead and check before you travel.
