Where would they get the drivers and trains from at such short notice?

Don't they have some extra stock available? (above number needed for
normal peak hour service?)

No - the system's running to capacity as it is. They could increase
the off-peak service to peak levels, that's about it.

Is there any emergency procedure to recall staff to work?

What, on a system where the management is so completely whipped by the
unions that people are seriously about to go on strike because their
pay rise was lower than the pay rise of people working for a different
company doing a vaguely similar job...?

You're having a laugh, right?
