Industrial action across the London Underground (Tube) network has been announced for 1-16 November 2024. Please be aware that your travel may be disrupted and keep an eye out for updates.
Workers on the London Underground have announced industrial action in the first half of November as part of an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions.
Different groups of workers including drivers, managers, instructors and engineers will be striking and refusing to work overtime on different days throughout the two-week period.
At present it is not clear which lines will be affected and when. TfL advises that there could be significant disruption if the strikes go ahead. Full details will be available on the Transport for London website closer to the time.
Travelling to campus
If you are coming into campus, please be aware that your journey may be disrupted and allow extra time to get to your destination. You can visit Transport for London , National Rail or the Citymapper app , which might be useful for planning alternative types of transport such as bicycle and scooter hire, walking, buses etc.Please do keep following the news and the Transport for London website for the latest updates.
Advice for students
It is possible that some of your teaching will have to be rescheduled or moved online if our staff are unable to travel or need to prioritise childcare responsibilities.UCL will make every attempt to keep activities running for students, with student-facing staff asked to come in to work where possible. If you are coming into campus please allow extra time to get to your destination and use the websites detailed above to plan your transport.
Keep a close eye on your UCL emails and look out for Moodle page announcements.
Advice for staff
If you are unable to get to work using alternative transport, you should let your line manager know as soon as possible. If transport strikes affect your ability to come into campus, you are welcome to work from home on the affected days, if your job lends itself to home working.Staff unable to work from home can agree flexible solutions with managers such as using TOIL or making up lost time where possible. If alternative arrangements cannot be found, staff should arrange to take annual leave or unpaid leave, in line with our Special Leave policy on travel and weather disruption.
