THIS weekend's planned tube strike will clash with Greater Anglia suspending services between London Liverpool Street and Shenfield - causing chaos for replacement buses due to link up with tube stations. 

On Saturday, there will be no Greater Anglia Service between Ingatestone or Wickford and London Liverpool Street.

Rail replacement bus services are due to run between Ingatestone and Wickford to Newbury Park London Underground Tube Station - but a 48 hour walkout by tube staff is due to start at 9pm Saturday. 

TfL warn tube services will run but many stations may open late, close early, or may not open at all.

If the strike goes ahead, London Underground services would be disrupted from early evening on Saturday and all day on Sunday 7 and Monday 8 February.

The strike involves Tube station staff, which means Tube services will be running, but many stations may open late, close early, or may not open at all.

Crossrail work on the Greater Anglia line will also disrupt trains services for the Southend United V Colchester United game this Saturday. 

Abellio Greater Anglia have timetabled a special bus service to convey fans.

Passengers from Norwich, Ipswich, Colchester and branches should change at Chelmsford onto the special bus services provided that will travel directly to Wickford, where fans can continue onwards to Prittlewell or Southend Victoria on the train service provided.

There is also a special bus service provided in the opposite direction after the game has finished.

Fans going to the Tottenham Hotspur v Watford game on Saturday will have extra services which have been arranged to call at Northumberland Park both before and after the game. 

The disruption due to Crossrail work is continuing on Sunday and affects trains on the Greater Anglia lines every weekend throughout February. 

TfL says weekend engineering works on the Tube, TfL Rail and London Overground will go ahead as planned. Details of the works are available from www.tfl.gov.uk/status-updates.

Travel advice and more information about the strike is available at tfl.gov.uk/tube-strike.

Steve Griffiths, London Underground’s Chief Operating Officer, said: "Our customers are advised to check the TfL website for the latest information as we try to keep London moving should the RMT proceed with its strike action.

“All of our ticket offices closed in December and all this strike will achieve is to lose staff two days’ pay and a £500 bonus. ”
