Londoners' bank holiday plans are due to be severely disrupted as Transport for London confirm their staff will be on strike over Sunday 27 and Monday 28 August.

The strike will see over 400 Unite members walk out, including staff responsible for re-routing buses due to major events, roadworks and accidents. With major festivals like Notting Hill Carnival and Clapham's SW4 taking place over the three-day weekend, travel chaos could erupt across the capital.

Bus station controllers, network traffic controllers, revenue protection inspectors, infrastructure controllers and road transport enforcement officers involved will begin their walk-out at 00:01 on Sunday, with the strike expected to last 48 hours.
