Dear xxxx

Certain Tube trade unions have announced strike action for this week. If the strikes go ahead, Tube services will be severely affected from tomorrow, Tuesday 25 until Friday 28 August.

The best way to find out what Tube services are running during the strikes will be our real-time travel tools at tfl.gov.uk and by following @TfLTravelAlerts, @TfLTrafficNews and @TfLBusAlerts on . You can also visit tfl.gov.uk/tube-strike

Staff on the bus network, DLR, London Overground, TfL Rail, tram, Emirates Air Line, Santander Cycles and River services will not be on strike. These services will operate as normal, but they will be much busier than usual and customers are strongly advised, if possible, to travel outside the morning and evening peaks.

Tuesday 25 August
Tube services will run as normal for most of tomorrow but will stop running at around 18:30, so please complete your Tube journey by this time and travel earlier if possible. Tube services are expected to be exceptionally busy between 16:30 and 18:30.

Wednesday 26 August
We will run as many Tube services as possible according to how many staff sign onto their shifts. However, most Tube services are unlikely to run at all and those that do run may only serve some stations, and may only run for part of the day. Please check our website and Twitter accounts for updates on what is running. Extra bus and river services will run, but all other public transport services and roads will be much busier than usual. Please travel outside the morning and evening peaks if you can.

Propuestos tres días de huelga en el metro de Londres

El sindicato del transporte británico RMT anuncia la convocatoria de tres paros de 24 horas en el metro de Londres en protesta por los planes para iniciar un servicio nocturno durante los fines de semana. Los trabajadores de esa organización irán a la huelga a el 26 de enero (otras fuentes dan el día 27), el 15 y el 17 de febrero, un calendario que ha secundado el sindicato minoritario Aslef, que agrupa a conductores del suburbano.

El ayuntamiento de la capital británica pospuso en septiembre el inicio de la circulación de los trenes nocturnos por la falta de acuerdo sobre los turnos y la remuneración de los trabajadores. Ese conflicto ya motivó el pasado verano dos jornadas de paros, el 9 de julio y el 6 agosto, en las que se detuvo por completo la red de metro de la ciudad, lo que provocó un caos circulatorio. En septiembre, se cancelaron otros dos paros previstos, después de que el ayuntamiento decidiera posponer el inicio de la circulación de los trenes por las noches.

Los miembros de RMT están furiosos por los deslavazados planes del alcalde para crear un servicio nocturno", afirma el secretario general del sindicato, Mick Cash.

La organización "apoya un servicio nocturno con turnos de trabajo apropiados", pero señala que el "estrepitoso fracaso a la hora de acordar los detalles" de ese plan ha roto las negociaciones. Además de una oferta de complementos económicos para los trabajadores del metro, London Underground avanzó la semana pasada que contratará a conductores a tiempo parcial para cubrir los turnos nocturnos durante el fin de semana.

Como se ha podido constatar en alguna ocasión, una huelga en el suburbano de Londres es una clara amenaza para la ciudad, que queda sumida en el colapso y el caos, con tres millones de personas en busca de otro sistema de transporte. A este número de clientes habituales se suma otra decena de miles de viajeros que ocasionalemte usan el "Tube".
