Tram services will be severely disrupted this week because of a fresh strike by workers in a dispute over pay.
Members of Aslef on Croydon Tramlink will walk out on Wednesday and Thursday following similar action last month.
Finn Brennan, Aslef’s full-time organiser on Croydon Tramlink and London Underground, said workers are facing a real terms wage cut.
“Our members do a difficult and demanding job, working round-the-clock shifts over 364 days of the year. They deserve a fair pay settlement.”
Trish Ashton, Transport for London’s director of rail and sponsored services, said: “It is disappointing this industrial action is going ahead.
“We urge Tram Operations Ltd and Aslef to urgently find a solution to avoid disruption to customers.
“All customers travelling on Wednesday and Thursday are advised to check before they make their journeys.”
