Members of the RMT union are on strike on Tuesday, with further action planned for Thursday, after talks failed to resolve a dispute over working hours on the London Underground.

Hopes are growing that planned London Underground strikes, scheduled for two 24-hour periods next week, could be called off. Sources indicate that the RMT union is seeking talks to resolve the dispute.

Tube drivers belonging to the RMT union are scheduled to begin two 24-hour walkouts this week, with the first strike commencing at midday.

London tube drivers are set to strike for 12 days this spring, as the RMT union opposes London Underground's plans to implement a four-day working week despite members' opposition.

The RMT union announced that 24-hour strikes by London Underground drivers will proceed next week on Tuesday and Thursday, causing transport disruption over proposals for a four-day week.

Commuters in London face another two days of disruption as a second 24-hour tube strike, initiated by the RMT union, begins against London Underground's plans for a voluntary four-day week.

London Underground drivers, represented by the RMT union, have called for two 24-hour strikes this week in opposition to a proposed four-day working pattern, which is expected to severely disrupt transport in the capital.

Thousands of commuters in London were forced to walk to work following a strike by the RMT union, disrupting public transport services.

Londoners are advised to prepare for significant travel disruption next week as members of the RMT union, including tube drivers, have confirmed a 24-hour walkout on two separate days.
