A number of lines will be affected, while others won't be as impacted. It comes as TfL seeks to introduce a voluntary four-day workweek for train drivers. As it stands, drivers work around 36 hours across five days, with new plans aiming to reduce that to 35 hours across four days. window.scriptsToLoad.push({url:'https://live.primis.tech/live/liveView.php?s=118222&vp_content=plembed3a6btjknzwqh&cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&playerApiId=v118222',triggeredBy:'tcfLoaded',delay:1500,containerId:'ovp-primis',title:"Primis player",beforeLoad:()=>{window.top.addEventListener('primisPlayerInit',e=>{try{if(e.detail&&e.detail.playerApiId==="v118222"){if(window.document.getElementsByClassName('jwplayer')[0]){e.detail.float('disable')}}}catch(e){}})},}) However, the RMT wants drivers to work 32 hours across four days. TfL chief operating officer Claire Mann said this would be "unaffordable" for London and would cost "in the tens of millions". Several strikes have been planned in response, with the most recent planned action - due to happen last month - called off at the eleventh hour. The 24-hour walkouts this time will run from midnight to 11.59pm on Tuesday, June 2, and again from midnight until 11.59pm on Thursday, June 4. Therefore, the morning rush hour will be hit hard, as will the evening rush. Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT READ MORE: Recall issued for batch of widely-prescri...
