London bus users, be warned – there are more strikes on the way as part of continuing union action.

Hundreds of drivers, part of the Unite union, are set to walk out today (December 16) in the first of several days of action carrying on right into the new year.

So what is the situation with trains and the London Underground?

Here’s all you need to know.

Are trains and Tubes running today amid London bus strike?

Yes – tube services in the capital are expected to run as close to normal as possible.

However, it is worth noting that services may be busier than normal as bus commuters are forced to take alternative routes.

Also, with strikes across Network Rail, some Underground lines and Overground services might be affected as a result.

You can get all the latest news on travel disruptions on the TfL website.
