I think, but am not sure, that this means only Thursday will be fully disrupted due to ASLEF being still in dispute.

Andrew called this one right. The modus operandi of both unions appears now to be serial brinkmanship. Presumably TfL has worked this out and holds back something to allow the unions to back down at the last minute and save face. The need to cancel meetings or scratch evenings out is not as annoying as the impact of a full-blown strike but still is a cost to those affected. The time may have come to ignore strike announcements on the tube and just assume they are not going to take place.

Thanks, need to get to St Pancras, think train to Waterloo then a bus will work best. Was looking at the overground from Gunnersbury and then a bus down from Camden, but Waterloo will be easier. Just long queues for the bus!

My understanding is that Thursday's strike is drivers only so any station that is on both Overground and Underground networks will be open including Gunnersbury. This is unlike the RMT strike when station staff were involved in the dispute.

Is Gunnersbury likely to be closed? Guess South Acton will be open though?

Unions and government corruption none of them are the hard working people in this country,power and greed

The uncertainty with strikes will continue for as long as Labour are in power. The unions control them and treat them as a generous cash cow to feed greed.

The following Tuesday (12 November) is also due to be a strike day. This seems to be a pattern that is likely to continue for some time, strikes are announced and then cancelled at the last minute presumably after some minor concession is gained. Aslef appear to have settled on the pay award so they have little to gain by going on strike. Therefore it is hard not to expect that this strike as well will be called off early next week.
