Delays hamper travel across Tube and Overground

Passengers might have thought that all the London Underground strikes planned in November have been called off after RMT scrapped its share of walk-outs.

However, you should prepare for the Aslef strikes to go ahead on Thursday and Tuesday, November 12 which is set to paralyse most of the Tube network.

Yes and no. You might have read last week that the strike action set to freeze London throughout November was cancelled.
