IMPORTANT UPDATE: The tube strikes planned for November 7 and 12 will no longer take place after ASLEF called off industrial action following last ditch talks and an ‘improved offer’ from TfL on November 5. The London Underground will now run as normal on those days.
London – strikes are upon us once again. That’s right, this November the whole of the London Underground will be impacted by union members walking out over inadequate pay, long hours and workers’ reliefs such as paid meals.
While some strikes by the RMT have been called off (find out all about those here), members of the ASLEF union are still set to strike over two days. So, to ensure you’re prepared and don’t get caught with a two-hour-plus journey home, here’s all the tube strike information you need.

November 2024 tube strike dates
These are the dates of planned industrial action and what TfL says to expect:
- Thursday, November 7: No services
- Tuesday, November 12: Severe disruption, any services that run will start late and finish early
Which tube lines will be affected by the strike?
Staff across the London Underground will be striking, meaning that all tube lines are likely to be affected.
Travel disruption around London
If you’re taking the DLR, London Overground or Elizabeth line, note that some services may not stop at certain tube stations that are closed due to strikes.
With more people expected to travel by bus or car, the roads are expected to be pretty jammed on strike days, so TfL recommends walking or cycling where you can.
There will be further disruption next month on parts of certain lines that are closed for work to take place.

How likely is it that the strikes will go ahead?
It’s looking reasonably likely. The RMT was supposed to kick-off industrial action on November 1 but called off those strikes on the day they were supposed to begin. It wouldn’t be massively surprising if ASLEF did the same.
