Looking ahead to strike action planned for this week, Ed Richardson, Programme Director for Transport at BusinessLDN, said: “These strikes are yet again set to make it more difficult for Londoners and visitors to make journeys around the city.
“Although the city did not come to a complete standstill during the April strikes, with the Overground and Elizabeth line running and many Londoners turning to other modes of transport like e‑bikes and buses.
“But for many businesses that rely on people visiting in person, the impact of these strikes – whether they go ahead or are called off at the last-minute – will have already been felt through cancelled bookings and people changing their plans.
“We urge both sides to reach a sustainable agreement to put an end to the damaging uncertainty hanging over businesses and London’s economy.”
