TheÌý,Ìýjourney planners or theÌýÌýmayÌýbe useful for planning alternative routes or alternative types of transport such as underground, buses, bicycle and scooter hire, walking, etc. If you are unable to get to work using alternative transport, you should advise your line manager as early as possible.

If the strikes completely prevent you from coming into campus, you may work from home if your job lends itself to remote working.Ìý

For staff unable to work from home, managers are encouraged to agree flexible solutions such as using TOIL or making up lost time where possible. If alternative arrangements cannot be found, staff should arrange to take annual leave or unpaid leave, in line with ourÌýSpecial Leave policyÌýon travel and weather disruption.Ìý
