Update 03/02/17: The proposed Tube Strike has been suspended.
What will be affected during the February Tube Strike?
To help commuters during the potential February Tube Strike, TfL has shared this Tube Map showing which stations will be affected. If the February Tube Strike goes ahead London Underground stations in
Zone 1 are the most likely to close as well as the greyed out stations in other areas of the map.
Other TfL services will run as normal. These include the London Overground, TfL Rail, DLR, Trams and Emirates Air Line.
How long will the Tube Strike last?
If it goes ahead, the February Tube Strike will start at 20:00
Sunday 5th February and end at 11:00
Wednesday 8th February. TfL has shared this timetable of how the strike will operate.
Because closures will be inconsistent across the 3 days, we highly recommend using
2 main features in
Tube Map to bring some much needed clarity.
Line Status

There is the potential for further talks prior to the strike so we will update this page if anything changes.
