  • London Tube strike disrupts services, hits passenger commute
    June 2, 2026, 3:35 PM EDT. London's Tube network faced major disruption as members of the RMT union struck over proposed 35-hour, four-day driver workweeks. Transport for London (TfL) reported 60% driver attendance, enabling around half of services to run during the morning peak, though usage was down 43%. Several lines were suspended or part-suspended, causing long delays and crowded alternatives. London Mayor Sadiq Khan called for urgent talks to avoid a 24-hour strike planned for Thursday, describing the walkout as a "sign of failure." Passenger reactions varied, with some condemning the timing during exams, while others supported the strike citing safety concerns. Taxi ranks saw heavy demand amid difficult travel conditions.
