London Tube passengers face major disruption this week as drivers from the RMT union are going on strike over a four-day week. Last-ditch talks failed to stop the walkouts planned for Tuesday and Thursday, affecting many lines across the capital. The Circle and Piccadilly lines will be out of service, and all other lines will operate on a modified schedule, beginning later in the day and concluding earlier than normal.
