RMT union drivers continue strike action against London Underground plans for a voluntary four-day week
Commuters in London face another two days of disruption as a second 24-hour tube strike starts from midday on Thursday.
No further talks have taken place to settle the dispute and drivers in the RMT union will continue industrial action against London Underground plans for a voluntary four-day week after the first 24-hour strike from midday on Tuesday.
Services were reduced but not cancelled across most underground lines. Just over half of the capital’s tube drivers are members of the Aslef union, which has welcomed the four-day week plan, and were not on strike.
Early starters had to find alternative transport with services running only from 7.30am on Wednesday, as Transport for London (TfL) tried to limit overall disruption.
