From Sunday evening tube drivers are going on strike, and while the Elizabeth Line will continue to run other London Underground lines – as well as the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) – will pack it in for five days. 

Transport for London (TfL) put a 3.4 per cent pay rise on the table, which was rejected by the RMT union. Tube drivers enjoy a salary of around £65,000 with experience operators earning up to £75,000.

If the dispute was only about money, it might have already been averted. In 2024, Sadiq Khan managed to swerve a tube strike with a £30m cash injection into pay packets. 

The bigger sticking point is working hours: Eddie Dempsey, the new boss of the RMT, is demanding a 32-hour week.
