At 10:30am on Friday, Transport for London identified five stations on their network affected by the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association's action.

The organization expressed that the move could result in Tube stations shutting down unexpectedly, potentially extending into the early hours of Saturday. However, Transport for London claimed that the impact on services will not be significant.

The aforementioned stations - Bermondsey, Caledonian Road, Highgate, Pimlico, and Regent's Park - have been labeled as closed.

Camden Town and Kentish Town are shut down, but the reason is not related to a strike.

The areas of Aldgate, Barbican, Temple, Vauxhall, and Piccadilly Circus were previously shut down but are now accessible again.

The Hammersmith & City and District lines were halted because of a casualty incident, but they are now operating, however, with severe delays.

The Piccadilly line, heading westbound from King's Cross to Acton Town, is experiencing slight setbacks.
