Sadiq Khan was today urged by the Conservatives to use new minimum service laws to keep the London Underground running during next week's major strike.
The Tube will have 'little to no service' from Monday until Thursday next week with members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union working on different parts of the network set to strike on separate days between tomorrow and January 12.
Major disruption will begin from this Sunday, January 7 - when Tube services will end earlier than normal with passengers advised to complete all journeys by 5.30pm.
Transport for London (TfL) then warned that from Monday to Thursday next week, 'severe disruption is expected with little to no service' on all Tubes. Services will then start 'later than normal' next Friday with a good service expected by midday.
Today, it emerged that the Elizabeth line between Bond Street and Whitechapel will also be affected by the strike, while five other rail operators - c2c, Thameslink, Great Northern, Southern and Chiltern Railways - will also have partially amended services.
