London train strikes to disrupt travel on Tuesday and Thursday

LONDON, ⁠June 1 (Reuters) - Strikes ​are set to disrupt travel in London on Tuesday ​and ‌Thursday, with some London Underground train drivers staging two ⁠24-hour walkouts over proposed changes to ⁠their working hours.

The ​RMT union said on Monday that the walkouts would go ahead as employer Transport for London ​had "failed ‌to provide assurances on our members' deeply held concerns" around fatigue, reduced flexibility and shift lengths.

TfL said it was disappointed that ​the union had chosen to go ahead, despite ‌assurances over the new working pattern.

The union called off planned strikes ‌last month to allow for further talks with TfL.

* TfL says drivers to walk out ​from 2301 GMT on June 1 to 2259 GMT on ‌June 2

* Identical strike planned from June 3 to 4

* Significant disruption expected across London

* The ⁠strikes ⁠do not affect the ‌entire Underground network, but some lines are expected to have no ​service, according ​to the TfL website

* Train ‌services will start late and finish early, with levels varying across the network (Reporting by Muvija M; Editing by Kevin Liffey)
