Tube
We advise people to use alternative routes on Tube, rail and bus services throughout the strike.
There are very limited or no Central and Waterloo & City line services throughout the strike.
Interchange stations along the Central and Waterloo & City lines are much busier than usual.
These stations are particularly busy during Saturday and at times may need to close temporarily to prevent overcrowding: Stratford, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Bank, Liverpool Street, Woodford, Mile End, Leytonstone, White City, Ealing Broadway, Oxford Circus, Notting Hill Gate.
We also expect these stations to be busier than usual: Ilford (TfL Rail), Chadwell Heath (TfL Rail), Canning Town (Jubilee line), Shepherd’s Bush (London Overground), Highams Park (London Overground), Victoria (Victoria, Circle, District lines and Southern and Southeastern).
Services on other lines will run normally, but are likely to be busier than usual and you may have to wait to board a train.
Our Tube walking map shows average walking times between stations in zones 1-3.
Buses
We are running extra buses during the strike. Buses are likely to be very busy – allow more time for your journey.

National Rail services will run as normal but may be busier than usual.
London Overground, TfL Rail and DLR
London Overground, TfL Rail and DLR services will operate normally. TfL Rail services via Ilford are expected to be extremely busy and London Overground services from Chingford will be very busy.

Driving and the Congestion Charge
Roads will be busier than usual. TfL will be delaying or removing road works on London’s major roads wherever possible.
The Congesion Charge does not apply during the strike because it starts after 18:00 on Friday, and there’s no Congestion Charge on Saturday.

These events are taking place:

On Saturday, Stratford station will operate differently to manage football crowds.

I usually do not leave a ton of comments, however I browsed a few of the
responses here Tube strike 21 – 22 December 2018 – CheapoLondon.
I actually do have a few questions for you if you do not mind.
Is it only me or does it look like a few of the comments appear as if they are written by brain dead
folks? 😛 And, if you are writing on other sites, I
would like to keep up with you. Could you post
a list of the complete urls of all your shared sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile? https://cryptorevolt.net/
