Commuters in London will face disruptions to their travel plans this week as members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union employed by TfL operator KeolisAmey Docklands take strike action. The strikes are expected to impact services on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), prompting TfL to advise commuters to seek alternative travel options on the affected days.
TfL’s chief operating officer, Glynn Barton, expressed concern about the strikes, stating, “Strikes are bad news for everyone, and we continue to work with our operator, KeolisAmey Docklands, to try and resolve the matter and avoid disruption to our customers. Our advice for our customers is clear; plan ahead, consider alternative routes, check before you travel, and allow extra time to complete your journeys.”
