While the DLR, London Overground and TfL's trams are not impacted, they are expected to be much busier due to the disruption on the Tube.

TfL is working on achieving financial sustainability on its operations by April 2023, as required by previous funding agreements with the government.

As part of that, TfL has proposed not recruiting into around 500 to 600 existing positions as they become vacant, which the RMT says constitutes lost jobs.TfL has insisted nobody will lose their job as a result of its proposals, and no changes are on the way for pensions."There's no point in our union continuing to sit opposite management representatives who have neither the inclination nor the authority to negotiate a settlement, when the power lies with the mayor," he added.

Richard Burge, chief executive of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the strike was"extremely disappointing" and called on the union and TfL to"sort out their dispute". He continued:"Ultimately, this will only harm London's economy, and it is time for TfL to sort out their dispute with the RMT, so we can get back to building prosperity and showing the world that London is open for business."to an industry already on life support.

Mr Lord said:"My message to the RMT is this - it's not too late to call off tomorrow's strike action."
