November Tube strike: Sixth 24-hour walkout of 2022 begins
A sixth 24-hour strike this year by London Underground workers has begun.
Staff from the Rail Maritime and Transport union (RMT) are striking in a row over job cuts, conditions and " detrimental" pension changes.
Transport for London (TfL) apologised and advised passengers to only travel if necessary. It warned there would be limited or no Tube service.
It Follows August's industrial action, where, and two walkouts in June and March.
The RMT said it has offered to suspend The Strike during talks, but accused TfL of rejecting its proposals.
General Secretary Mick Lynch said: " TfL have missed a golden opportunity to make progress in these negotiations and avoid strike action.
" Our members are resolute in their determination to see a just settlement to this dispute, and they will continue their industrial campaign for as long as it takes. "
More Than 1,000 Unite members will be on strike.
Unite General Secretary Sharon Graham said: " TfL is needlessly attacking our members' pay and pensions, which Unite simply can't accept.
" The workers have the full support of their union in fighting these attacks. TfL must stop behaving like a race-to-the-bottom employer and put forward an offer that is acceptable to our members. "
Glynn Barton, TfL's chief operating officer, said no proposals to change pensions or conditions had been made.
TfL's recent funding agreement with the government required it to develop options around pensions, but the organisation said if changes are to be made, there would be consultations and further work before any decisions are made.
