Transport for London have announced there will be more train strikes as disputes between the Rail Maritime and Transport union (RMT) show no signs of slowing down.
The RMT have announced that there will be further strikes on in August, following several days of strikes during July.
Passengers have been told to only travel if necessary when strikes are going ahead, as some will leave as little as one fifth of normal services running.
The dispute is over pay and working conditions as RMT claim its members have suffered a real terms pay cut in the last few years.
Here is all you need to know about the upcoming rail strikes.
All the train strikes coming up
On Wednesday July 27, around 40,000 union members will walk out of their roles at TfL, for a 24-hour period, meaning there will likely be further disruption tomorrow as well.
The strike is across the National Rail Network, so affects all train operators across the country, as well as the London Overground network.
The Elizabeth, Bakerloo and District line trains will also be affected.
After the action taken on July 27, there will only be three-day grace period before the next strike.
On Saturday July 30, staff at Arriva Rail, the company which runs the Overground, will strike, leaving the entire network down for 24 hours.
When are the August London Underground strikes?
Two days of rail strikes had already been announced for August 18 and 20, but the RMT have now confirmed that staff will also walk out on August 19 as well.
Again, staff will be off work for a full 24-hour period, meaning the effects will most likely continue into the following day.
The RMT said that the added strike day was due to the fact that TfL refused to share details of a draft proposal relating to funding of the transport system in London.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "Our members will once again take to picket lines in this important dispute over pensions, jobs and conditions.
"They have been messed around by TfL and Mayor Sadiq Khan. And to add insult to injury, they have not seen the detail of this funding letter from government.
"Unless there can be assurances made about jobs, pensions and detrimental changes to working conditions, then our strike on 19 August will go ahead."
The union said TfL has until August 2 to give assurances on jobs, pensions and working conditions.
Which lines will be affected?
On Wednesday July 27, there will be no service on the Bakerloo line between Queen’s Park and Harrow & Wealdstone.
There will be significantly reduced service on the Elizabeth line, and some sections will only run two trains per hour.
National rail services will also be severely disrupted.
On July 30, Arriva Rail London (London Overground), Greater Anglia, Great Western, Hull Trains, LNER, Southeastern and West Midlands Trains services will all be affected.
The entire London Overground will have no service, and there will be no night Overground on Saturday July 30 or Sunday July 31.
When will the strike end?
The final strike in the current wave of action is on August 20, after five days in total across July and August.
The affects of the strikes are likely to be felt after this date though, as rail services get back to normal hours.
Will there be more tube strikes?
Though there are not any more strikes confirmed, it is very possible that there will be more as the bitter dispute is showing no signs of coming to a resolution.
ASLEF’s Mick Whelan said: “The drivers at the companies where we are striking have had a real terms pay cut over the last three years—since April 2019.
“And these companies are offering us nothing, saying their hands have been tied by the government.
“That means, in real terms, with inflation running ahead at 9%, 10%, and even 11% this year, according to which index you use, that they are being told to take a real terms pay cut. And that is not acceptable.”
