Are there still strikes on the Tube?
As of now, the strikes on the tube were called off after there was progress in talks between union and London Underground. The workers still voting about the deal over pay, job security and working conditions.

That voting for the deal will close on November 30.

What about the refund?
In case you have tickets booked in advance, you will a refunded amount if there is any change in the train schedule, that is if your train is cancelled, delayed or rescheduled. In case of return tickets, you are also liable for a refund for that as well.

Those who have season tickets, be it flexi, monthly or longer, but cannot travel can claim full compensation for strike dates through the 'Delay Repay scheme.'
