World Travel Market goes ahead, despite rail strikes
World Travel Market London is going ahead with its packed schedule of events at ExCeL London from 7-9 November 2022, despite planned industrial action
Rail strikes are planned for days one and three of the show.
Juliette Losardo, Exhibition Director WTM London, said: “It’s disappointing that strikes have been called on the first and last days of World Travel Market London, but our message is – business as usual.”
”National Rail services coming into the capital will be affected, but Transport for London services are operating as scheduled. ExCeL London is a world-class venue with infrastructure to remedy issues such as these.”
“Over the past few years our sector has navigated far worse, and we’re confident the travel community will be out in force.”
On Monday 7 November and Wednesday 9 November, the RMT union has voted to strike on National Rail services, meaning services into Central London will run on a drastically reduced timetable.
However, Transport for London (TfL) services – including London Underground, London Overground, the DLR and the newly opened Elizabeth Line, will operate as normal.
Event attendees using public transport are advised to check their route on the morning of the show using the TfL website (www.tfl.gov.uk) or use the “TfL Go” mobile app.
For those who prefer to drive, ExCel London Orange Car Park has 1,500 spaces, available on a first come, first served basis.
