Most TfL services will run as normal after 08:00 on Saturday, 20 August, 2022- but disruptions can be expected on the following lines and areas:
London Underground has advised people not to travel, and warned of severe disruption across the network from the start of service.
The strike on Friday, August 19, 2022, is a result of Tube workers and bus drivers walking out.
The strike was called by the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) as part of an ongoing dispute between Transport for London (Tfl) and the union over pensions, jobs and conditions.
Both sides met at the conciliation service ACAS in late May and though no resolution was reached, there are hopes for further talks.
As part of previous funding agreements, the Government has required TfL to work towards achieving financial sustainability by April 2023.
TfL has proposed not filling around 500 to 600 posts as they become vacant.
It is the fifth time RMT members on London Underground have walked out for 24 hours this year in a dispute over job cuts.
The RMT has said it will continue to take other forms of action, short of a strike.
