Transport for London (TfL) has advised people to work from home if possible as travel will be a lot busier, especially buses
The RMT union are striking over fears of spending cuts linked to funding deals by the Government will lead to hundreds of job losses, reduced pensions, and even worst working conditions.
Andy Lord, TfL’s chief operating officer, said: “I would ask anyone who needs to use the Tube on Thursday to check before they make their journey, consider whether they are able to work from home and use alternative modes of transport where possible.

“It’s highly unlikely there will be an Underground service running during the strike action and, if any service is provided, it will not continue into the evening.
“Services will also be severely impacted until mid-morning on Friday, March 4 because of a number of factors including the placement of drivers and trains following a day without service.”
With many lines shut, TfL is expecting that the three open lines (DLR, TfL Ral, Tram) will also be severely affected.
