To sum it up: tube strikes happen when unions and TfL can’t agree. You’ll hear about them in the news about a week ahead. Always check TfL after 5 pm the day before for the final word. And remember, it’s just one day. It’s annoying, yes, but it’s also a very London rite of passage—like tutting at a slow walker or pretending not to see a celebrity.
So the next time you see “TUBE STRIKE” in your feed, don’t panic. You’re prepared. You know the tricks. You’ll either be cosy at home or walking through a park with a coffee, feeling smug that you weren’t Sarah. Stay informed, stay flexible, and for the love of all things, charge your phone.
