Strikes are planned on seven bus routes operated by Stagecoach from Bow Bus Garage. If they go ahead, some services will be severely delayed and buses may be cancelled.<\/p>\n

The strikes are planned:<\/p>\n

From 5am Friday 24 April to 5am Saturday 25 April

These routes are affected: 8, 25, 205, 425, N8, N25 and N205<\/p>\n

TfL expects that the 25 and 425 will run a near normal service for most of the day throughout the strikes. The N8 will run a reduced route between Hainault and Liverpool Street at its usual frequency. The other affected routes are likely to be severely delayed and subject to cancellations.<\/p>\n

11 hours ago04:16 Peter Hennessy<\/a>TfL: ‘We have set out proposals for RMT’<\/p>\n

Claire Mann, TfL\u2019s chief operating officer, said: \u201cWe have set out proposals to the RMT for a four-day working week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis allows us to offer train operators an additional day off, whilst at the same time bringing London Underground in line with the working patterns of other train operating companies, improving reliability and flexibility at no additional cost.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe changes would be voluntary, there would be no reduction in contractual hours and those who wish to continue a five-day working week pattern would be able to do so.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground, and tram services will be running normally on strike days.<\/p>\n

The vast majority of buses will be running normally throughout these strikes, but 7 bus routes operated by Stagecoach will be affected by separate strike action between 5am on Friday 24 April and 5am on Saturday 25 April. Other buses will run as usual.<\/p>\n

12 hours ago02:47 Peter Hennessy<\/a>Pubs and restaurants dealt huge blow this week<\/p>\n

Research conducted by Harri has suggested that London pubs and restaurants have been among the hardest hit by the industrial action this week.<\/p>\n

It stated total hospitality revenue was down 18% compared to the same period last week.<\/p>\n

Pubs have lost more than half (54%) of their weekly takings, as reported by thecaterer.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

13 hours ago01:41 Peter Hennessy<\/a>‘Check ahead’ says TfL<\/p>\n

Transport for London (TfL) continued to advise people to check before they travel for the rest of the week.<\/p>\n

14 hours ago00:33 Peter Hennessy<\/a>The dispute stems over changes to the working week<\/p>\n

The union is in dispute with London Underground over changes to the working week, including shift patterns.<\/p>\n

More 24-hour strikes are planned in May and June unless the row is resolved.<\/p>\n

Picket lines were again mounted outside\u00a0Tube\u00a0stations from noon on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Pubs and restaurants fear losing trade this week because of the industrial action as fewer workers than normal have travelled to offices.<\/p>\n
