London Tube strike: Underground set for chaos day after Platinum Jubilee weekend as workers walkout

TUBE staff will strike across the Underground as commuters return to work the day after the Queen’s Jubilee weekend.

Hardline union bosses say there will also be a ban on staff working overtime during the celebrations.



Thousands of Tube workers will strike as Brits head back to the office after the Queen’s Jubilee

The move will result in huge disruption across the capital as strikers hobble public transport after the long weekend.

Some 4,000 workers are expected to down tools on Monday, June 6.

The action will start a minute after midnight and last for 24 hours.

Elsewhere, union RMT has announced an overtime ban from next Friday, June 3 – the second day of the celebrations – until July 10.

It piles on misery for Londoners, who are facing two significant Tube strikes within just days.

Another walkout is planned at Euston and Green Park stations on Friday, June 3.

Green Park is the nearest Tube station for Buckingham Palace.

It comes amid a row with Transport for London over job cuts and feared threats to staff pensions.

Plans for June 6 will likely cause as much trouble as walkouts in early March.

The two 24-hour network-wide protests earlier this year caused chaos, with 200 stations closed and huge queues for buses and taxis.
