Planned strikes by the RMT that are set to bring ‘s tube services to a halt next week may have a knock-on effect of some services operated by Great Northern, and Southern.

Eight stations on the Great Northern, Thameslink and Southern network may be affected by strikes on the tube because they are operated by London Underground. The Tube strikes will also result in National Rail trains around London being much busier than usual, with journeys generally taking longer than normal.
