More than 300 union members will stage two 48-hour strikes on the London Overground after receiving a lower-than-inflation pay offer, the RMT has said.
It comes after train and rail strikes, which have now concluded, impacted commuters at the start of February, when industrial action by ASLEF union members hit the services of 17 train companies.
In fresh action by RMT in February and March, security, station, revenue and control staff on the London Overground network will walk out.
The action will take place on the following dates:
Monday 19 February
Tuesday 20 February
Monday 4 March
Tuesday 5 March
Aslef workers on the Northern and LNER will also stage a one-day strike on Friday 1 March.

What has been said about the strikes?
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "London Overground workers do an important job delivering services for TfL and supporting passengers on journeys throughout London.
"Our members are furious that they have been given a below inflation pay offer and want to see an improvement that represents the value they bring to the company.
"If this dispute cannot be resolved then RMT is more than prepared for a sustained period of industrial action to get London Overground workers the pay rise they deserve."
Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan said: "We are fed up to the back teeth with the bad faith shown, day after day, week after week, and month after month by these two companies.
"We always stick to agreements which we make. These companies think they can break agreements - which they freely enter into - whenever it suits them.
"This is a shot across their bows and a sign of things to come. They need to stop what they are doing, start to behave properly and honourably, because their drivers - our members - are no longer prepared to be treated like this."
