On April 20th, two strikes hit London, starting mid-day Tuesday, April 21st, through mid-day Wednesday, April 22nd, and again Thursday, April 23rd to Friday, April 24th. Only two drivers are walking out over a dispute with Transport for London about work hours. Elizabeth Line, DLR, London Overground, and National Rail keep running normal, making them key lifelines for commuters. The fights about shifting from 36 hours over five days to a four-day week. Transport for London pushes for 35 hours, but the union wants 32, saying less could tire drivers and risk safety. Officials call the union's plan too pricey, running into tens of millions. Expect chaos on the underground, with Piccadilly fully shut and parts of circle, metropolitan between Algate and Baker Street, plus central from. Liverpool Street to White City closed to focus on busier spots. Hammer Smith and City picks up some slack on those tracks. Smart swaps at Elizabeth Line

stop like Liverpool Street, White Chapel, Canary Wharf, Farringden, Stratford, and Romford, linked to Overground, DLR, and National Rail helping you dodge the mess and still get around town. Elizabeth Line skips the strikes since it is not real. Tube dodging underground infrastructure and using national rail tracks instead, with bigger, trains to boot, braze for packed platforms, especially rush hour, as everyone piles on.
