    If the strike goes ahead a few trains will still run. Not all drivers are members of the ASLEF Union

    which is in dispute with the government.

    Unfortunately the Heathrow Express train from Paddington Station will not be running either on Boxing Day due to Christmas Engineering works

    By bus: 15 from Limehouse to Piccadilly Circus; then 94 to Shepherds Bush; then 237 to Hounslow;

    then 111 to Heathrow. However if the tube strike is on buses will be very overcrowded, roads congested and it will take hours. www.tfl.gov.uk

    The best advice is to take a mini cab www.addisonlee.com or try and re-book your flight for the 27th

    Same as you would do if there wasn't a strike:

    There will be a reduced service on most Tube lines from 08:30 and last trains will operate on a Sunday timetable.

    Just allow a bit extra time in case there is a long wait between tubes. Listen to local radio or check online on Boxing day just to make sure that you can get there in time and that the lines are still running.

    Or take a taxi to Victoria Coach station and then the National Express coach to Heathrow. Prebook your coach seat .

    Have a look at the National Express website. Coach journey time about one hour.

    Do you actual think of all of us interior the united kingdom is shocked that the information has a tendency to talk of London? Your united states is somewhat a text fabric e book case of being focussed on a single city. that's one element for human beings interior the U. S., Australia, or Germany to be shocked that their information has a tendency to prefer the place the nationwide information is broadcast from, however the united kingdom?

    Use the Tfl journey planner. It will give an alternative bus route, or bus replacement service. The strike isn't confirmed yet. Edit - strike now confirmed.
