London Tube strikes 2024: Several stations closed as TfL workers walkout

Several London Underground stations are closed this morning due to striking Tube workers.

Hundreds of customer service managers, who are members of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA), have walked out today (April 26) over terms and conditions.

The TSSA union had warned the strikes would likely cause stations to close at the last minute and on Friday morning at 9.30am Transport for London (TfL) had marked six stations as closed.

Those closed are marked as Bermondsey, Caledonian Road, Highgate, Pimlico, Regent’s Park and Vauxhall.

Camden Town and Kentish Town are also closed but not due to strike action.

TSSA union members previously walked out on April 10, which the union's general secretary said "had a real impact".

Members will also take part in an overtime ban from April 29 to May 5. The union warns this could also lead to the closure of Underground stations at short notice.

TSSA general secretary Maryam Eslamdoust said “Because of London Underground’s refusal to get back round the negotiating table, we have been forced to take further strike action this week.

“London Underground must now come clean with the public – their refusal to negotiate seriously and fairly with our union will lead to stations closing at the last minute and other stations being understaffed.

“We have made it clear that our union will not accept the continued threats to our members' roles, locations, terms, and conditions to stand unchallenged. We will continue to take sustained action until London Underground is prepared to negotiate with us in good faith.”

A TfL spokesperson said: “We are disappointed that TSSA is continuing with this strike action following a consultation process. While we don’t expect this action will cause significant disruption, we urge TSSA to continue to work with us to help find a resolution. There are no planned job losses as part of these vital changes which will improve the service we provide to customers at our stations.”
