All the latest London transport and travel news.

Transcript

00:00After a period of strike-free travel on the London Underground, two transport unions have

00:05announced a series of walkouts in November. For those who commute within London, and others

00:10who frequently use Transport for London's tube system, planning your journeys ahead

00:15of time may be essential for next month as the strikes will impact much of the capital's

00:21transport network.

00:22ASLEF and the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers, the RMT, have both

00:29announced strikes over a pay dispute and subsequent inadequate pay offers during negotiations.

00:36Transport for London Oyster photocards are still unavailable following a cyberattack.

00:41About 5,000 customers were contacted by TfL, saying details including their sort codes

00:48and bank account numbers could have been accessed by hackers amid the cyber security incident

00:54at the start of September. A 17-year-old boy was arrested over the hack, which also

01:00includes names, emails, home addresses and Oyster refund data. TfL apologised for the

01:06disruption but has not said exactly when it would be able to reissue the photocards.

01:13Photocards affected include those for children, students, care leavers, people aged over 60,

01:18apprentices and veterans.

01:21British Airways is cancelling all flights to New York from London Gatwick until 2025.

01:27The cancellations are down to a shortage of planes. BA was meant to be getting a delivery

01:32of engines and parts from Rolls-Royce for its Boeing 787 aircraft but there are ongoing

01:39supply chain issues across aviation causing those deliveries to be delayed. BA runs nine

01:46daily services from London to New York's JFK, eight of which take off from London Heathrow

01:52and one from Gatwick. The Heathrow services to the Big Apple will be unaffected by the

01:57changes British Airways has made.
