Councillors Emma Best and Roy Berg had originally planned to install the statue on a platform at Chingford Overground station, but the proposal was rejected by Transport for London following a risk assessment.

Whiteboard messages on the TfL network will also highlight the games and the upcoming launch of the London Overground Lioness line, which runs between Watford Junction and Euston.

There are no strikes currently planned on the Elizabeth line, Overground, London Trams or Dockland Light Railway services.

Mr Brennan said the offer would leave members on a lower salary than drivers on other TfL services, such as the Elizabeth line and Overground.

The London Overground, which is the primary route to the stadium from other parts of London, was also down, forcing thousands of supporters to walk from as far as Liverpool Street station, two hours away.
