London Underground passengers will experience significant travel disruption across several months due to planned industrial action. Drivers from the RMT union, representing nearly half of Tube operators, are striking over a proposed four-day working week. The first 24-hour walkout begins at midday on Tuesday 21 April, causing Piccadilly and Circle lines to close completely.
