Mike Bagshaw, managing director for MTR Elizabeth line, said: “Following intensive talks with ASLEF to resolve this dispute and avoid disruptive strike action for our customers, we have put forward an enhanced offer, including a 1.5x rate for rest day working with further improvements to terms and conditions.
“If the strike action does go ahead, customers are urged to check before they travel, allow extra time for their journeys, and check the TfL website or the TfL Go app for the latest travel information.”.
Howard Smith, TfL’s director of the Elizabeth line, said: “Talks are continuing, and we urge Aslef to suspend any industrial action whilst these are taking place.
“We encourage Aslef and MTR Elizabeth line to continue talking to try and resolve this dispute and avoid impacting our customers with strike action.
TfL said there would be “no service” on most of the “Lizzie line” – the busiest railway in the country, with about 770,000 journeys on weekdays – and only a “significantly reduced” service on its eastern section between Liverpool Street and Shenfield.
