Saturday, August 20

Saturday, August 20 will see further disruption, as another national rail strike commences which will see just one in five trains running.

However, you can expect Tubes to return to their usual service by the morning, albeit likely quite busy with a few disruptions.

That said, there will be reduced service on the Overground, Elizabeth Line, and no service north of Queen’s Park on the Bakerloo Line.

By Sunday, August 21, you might experience some minor disruption on the Tube or other TfL services, but things should start getting back to normal on and after this date.

If you’re feeling cautious, check your planned route on TfL’s journey planner.
