Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor and Transport for London, as such the Government has made no assessment of the number of working days lost across the broader London commuter base as a result of industrial action by members of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers on the London Underground since 1 April 2026.

The Government has made no assessment of the total direct cost to the United Kingdom economy of industrial action on the London Underground since 1 April 2026 due to London Transport being devolved.
