Here is our weekly travel update to help you get around London this weekend, 7/8 February. Most of the network will be open with services running as normal this weekend, but please check if any of the following affect you.



Bus strike update

Bus services are affected today, Thursday 5 February, due to a 24-hour strike by the Unite union. We estimate that almost half (47 per cent) of the buses which normally operate at this time are currently running. This is more than at this time during the last strike in January when 30 per cent were running. To see details of your route, please click here

The strike will affect night bus services operating tonight into tomorrow morning; buses will operate as normal tomorrow.

Two further 24-hour bus strikes are planned by the Unite union for Friday 13 and Monday 16 February.
