Commuters are set to face almost a week of transport disruption due to Tube strikes in the capital.

Axar.az reports, citing Independent, from Sunday 7 September, different groups of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) members will walk out across the Tube network each day, with the aim of bringing operations to a halt.

Every Underground line will be affected during this period, and those services that are still running are expected to be busier than usual.

The strikes are planned on the Tube and DLR between 7 and 12 September, causing significant disruption across the city.

London Underground staff are striking over their current pay and working conditions.

Members of RMT voted overwhelmingly for strike action after nine months of negotiations failed to resolve a long-running dispute over pay and conditions.

A pay rise of 3.4 per cent has been offered by TfL, but it said it could not afford to meet the RMT’s demand for a 35-hour working week.

Nick Dent, TfL’s director of customer operations for London Underground, said it is not too late to call off the strikes on Friday.

He said that the company had made a “fair” pay offer, without any conditions attached, which he urged the RMT to put to a ballot of its members.
