不滿加薪5%的要求未獲同意，倫敦「鐵路、海運及運輸工會」宣布，9日晚間7點（台北時間10日凌晨3時）起進行48小時大罷工。預料將造成倫敦地鐵全面癱瘓，數百萬名乘客受到影響。
倫敦市長強生（Boris Johnson）痛批工會罷工決定「荒謬而且造成不必要的交通運輸中斷」。
地鐵罷工一直進行到周四（11日）晚間7點為止(台北時間12日凌晨3時)。倫敦地鐵每天運載約300 萬名乘客，48小時的地鐵罷工，將造成1 億英鎊（約台幣53億元）的損失，對衰退的英國經濟無疑是雪上加霜。不僅如此，這還會傷害倫敦的形象，使觀光客和訪客認為倫敦的運輸系統不可靠。
強生說，市政府將盡一切努力讓倫敦客通勤能順暢，輕軌鐵路服務不受影響，市府將加派100輛公車，提供泰晤士河免費往返船運服務，在主要火車站提供計程車共乘，提供單車族更多的停車空間，讓用地鐵卡的乘客也可以搭乘火車。
