BLE gives update in light of Tube strike news

The team behind BLE has given an update in light of news of a Tube strike due to take place on two of the three days of the show.

The RMT has announced a London Underground strike on October 4th and October 6th. This is in addition to the UK national rail strike already announced to take place on October 4th.

At present, it is unclear as to the specifics of the strike and here is also a possibility that the strike will be called off.

“Whilst we await further details, we would encourage BLE attendees to consider alternative plans such as booking a nearby hotel for Tuesday October 3rd (there is still plenty of availability), driving to the venue (parking is 24/7) or booking a taxi in advance,” said Anna Knight, SVP Licensing at Informa Markets.

“We are actively working on alternative transport options for all attendees working alongside the venue and other organisers who have shows at the same time. As soon as we have any further information, we will be in touch and let you know of any minor adjustments we may make to the show. Thank you for your patience as ever – it is very much appreciated.”
