After failed talks at the beginning of this week, the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) confirmed they’d strike again on the 2nd and 4th of June.
The RMT had previously suggested these dates as possible strike days after cancelling their planned 19th and 21st May, and 16th and 18th June strikes.
They decided to go ahead with this week’s strikes as they didn’t feel Transport for London (TfL) adequately addressed their concerns during hours-long talks with the conciliation service ACAS.
What remaining TfL Tube strike dates are there in 2026?
As of the time of writing (June 3, 2026), there’s only one planned TfL Tube strike date remaining this year: Thursday, 4 June.
This will run from midnight to midnight, unlike April’s midday-to-midday strikes.
Will there be more Tube strikes in 2026?
An RMT spokesperson told us that no further strike action is currently scheduled after tomorrow.
They added they expect to meet TfL next week for talks.
TfL confirmed they plan to meet with the RMT next week.
Will Thursday’s Tube strikes go ahead?
The RMT told HuffPost UK these are set to happen as scheduled.
They added that there were no talks planned with TfL before then, though they said they’d attend if invited.
TfL also said these strikes seem set to go ahead.
After Monday’s talks, a TfL spokesperson said: “It is bitterly disappointing that despite five hours of meetings with the RMT at ACAS and repeated assurances that the four-day working week proposals will remain voluntary, RMT has chosen to continue with its disruptive strike action. We will do all we can to provide as much service as possible during this action.”
TfL said the latest strike wasn’t as disruptive as expected
This is the second Tube strike this week. But more drivers than expected turned up to work on Tuesday, TfL said.
“Only a handful of drivers had stayed away from work on the Jubilee Line, and overall around 60% of drivers came to work. which is more than in April’s strike action. We continue to urge the RMT to work with us to resolve their questions on the proposed four-day week and to suspend any future action while that work is complete,” the transport service wrote.
In response, the RMT said: “Our strike has been strongly supported by RMT members with well-attended picket lines at Tube stations and depots. We are available at any time for talks to try to find a negotiated settlement and expect to meet the employer next week.”
