The RMT has raised concerns about longer shifts, fatigue and safety, while TfL says the proposal would be voluntary and could initially be trialled on a single line.

TfL says that buses, the Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground, and Trams will be running as normal but "are expected to be busy".

It advises commmuters to plan ahead and allow more time to complete their journey.
