The line below answers whether a London Underground strike is confirmed for today or tomorrow, based on our table of strike dates taken from TfL and union announcements. Under it you’ll find every upcoming Tube strike we know of, with its status and source, and the live status of each Tube line from TfL. During a Tube strike some other services can still run, but expect them to be much busier, and TfL does not pay delay refunds for strike disruption.
No Tube strike is confirmed for today (Sunday 25 October 2026) or tomorrow.
Which Tube strike dates are confirmed?
No Tube strikes are confirmed right now (last checked 25 October 2026, 17:56).
Strike dates are added by the Journey Radar team from operator, union and TfL announcements, with a link to each source.
Each row is added by the Journey Radar team from a TfL or union announcement and links to it. If a strike is suspended or called off we change its status instead of removing it, so you can see at a glance that it’s no longer going ahead. TfL also keeps its own strikes page, which covers buses as well as the Tube.
Strikes on National Rail train companies are on our train strikes page.
Which lines are running right now?
This is TfL’s live status for every Tube line, plus the London Overground, Elizabeth line and DLR. On a strike day, any line TfL reports as closed or disrupted is highlighted.
Live Tube status is unavailable right now. Check TfL status.
Will the Elizabeth line, Overground, DLR and buses run during a Tube strike?
It depends on who is on strike. Every strike notice names the employer and the staff involved, for example drivers, station staff or a contractor’s workers. The London Overground, Elizabeth line, DLR, trams and buses are separate services from the Underground, so a strike by London Underground staff alone is not a strike on them. That doesn’t mean they run normally:
- Shared stations: where a station is run by London Underground staff and is closed by the strike, other services may not be able to stop there.
- Crowding: buses, the Elizabeth line, the Overground and National Rail trains into London take the people who would have used the Tube, so expect queues and full trains, especially at peak times.
- Separate strikes: sometimes other staff strike on the same days. TfL lists those separately, so check its strikes page and the live status above rather than assuming.
National Rail train companies are not part of a Tube strike. Under the National Rail Conditions of Travel, your rail ticket is valid on the operators and routes it covers, so a rail ticket into a London terminal still works, but a Travelcard or a ticket with Underground validity won’t get you onto Tube lines that are closed.
When does a Tube strike end, and what happens the next morning?
A strike notice gives the times the walkout starts and ends, which our table shows as dates. The end of the strike isn’t the same as a normal service. Trains and staff have to get back into place, so the first part of the next morning can still be disrupted, and some lines can take longer to recover than others. Before you set off the morning after, check the live line status above or TfL’s status page.
Can I get a refund on my Travelcard or season ticket?
TfL’s Conditions of Carriage (24 September 2026) set the rules, and they are less generous than National Rail’s:
| Situation | What TfL’s Conditions of Carriage say |
|---|---|
| Tube journey delayed or longer because of a strike | No refund. Service delay refunds are suspended during strike action (condition 8.2.7) |
| You paid higher fares on another route because of a strike | No refund (condition 8.2.7) |
| Bus or tram disrupted by a strike | Generally no refund (condition 8.2.8) |
| Unused single or return ticket because of a strike | No refund for disruption caused by strike action (Appendix 2) |
| Day Travelcard you haven’t used | Refund if handed in before its day of validity (Appendix 2) |
| Season ticket you no longer need | Partial refund: the price paid minus equivalent tickets for the time you held it, less an admin fee (condition 8.3.5) |
There is no TfL rule that pays season ticket holders for the days a strike stopped them travelling. Returning a season ticket only makes sense if you don’t need it any more: on an Oyster card you cancel it online, and the refund is worked out from that point (condition 8.3.4). For an annual ticket, TfL says there’s generally no refund after about 10 and a half months.
Travelcards bought at Overground or Elizabeth line stations, and tickets for National Rail journeys, are refunded under the National Rail Conditions of Travel instead (TfL conditions 8.1.3 and 8.1.4).
Frequently asked questions
Has the Tube strike been called off?
Our strike table shows each London Underground strike with its current status: confirmed, suspended or called off, with a link to the TfL or union notice. If a strike is suspended or called off we change its status rather than deleting it, so you can see it's not going ahead.
Will the Elizabeth line run during a Tube strike?
It depends on who is striking. Each strike notice names the employer and the staff involved. A strike by London Underground staff is not a strike on the Elizabeth line, but stations shared with the Tube can be affected, and every other service gets busier. Check the live TfL status on the day.
Can I get a refund on my Travelcard or season ticket for a Tube strike day?
Not for the strike itself. TfL's Conditions of Carriage say service delay refunds are suspended during strike action and that refunds aren't paid when a strike makes your journey longer or more expensive. You can return a season ticket you no longer need for a partial refund, and an unused Day Travelcard can be refunded if it is handed in before its day of validity.
Can I claim a delay refund if my Tube journey takes longer because of a strike?
No. TfL's service delay refund normally covers Tube and DLR delays of 15 minutes or more within TfL's control, but its Conditions of Carriage exclude delays caused by strike action and say these refunds are suspended during strikes.
Are London buses affected by a Tube strike?
Not directly unless bus staff are also on strike, which TfL announces separately. Expect buses to be busier during a Tube strike. TfL's Conditions of Carriage say it generally won't refund you if bus or tram services are disrupted by strike action.
Why do you only show a strike once it's announced?
TfL's live data only reflects a strike around the day it happens, so future dates come from TfL and union announcements. The Journey Radar team adds each one with a link to its source and doesn't predict strikes that haven't been called.
