TfL invites RMT union to resume talks after week of London tube strikes

Underground services to restart gradually on Friday and resume fully after morning rush hour

Transport for London has invited the RMT to resume talks as the union’s week of strikes comes to a close, with the tube expected to restart gradually, with early disruption, on Friday.

TfL said London Underground trains were not expected to be running fully until the end of the morning rush hour, after the last in a series of strikes by 10,000 RMT members concluded on Thursday night.

Passengers were urged to check for updates before travelling, especially for journeys before 8am.

The RMT did not confirm whether it would accept TfL’s invitation to further talks next Wednesday, after saying further strikes could follow.
