‘You’re going nowhere’
London Underground workers are once again striking today, as part of a five-day Tube strike in the Capital, spelling travel mayhem for commuters.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union have downed tools over an ongoing row concerning pay and working hours. A limited Tube service will be available until 6pm today, with minimal to no service across the London Underground network from Monday to Thursday.
The Elizabeth Line and London Overground are set to operate as usual, but may not be able to stop at stations linked with a Tube line. Commuters have been cautioned that these services, along with buses, will likely be more crowded – with huge queues seen earlier this week.
Maybe just stay at home . . .
In a separate dispute, the DLR will also be completely out of service on Thursday, as it was yesterday. TfL has noted that any Tube services operating on Sunday will wrap up earlier than normal. The Tube will open later than usual on Friday, September 12, at 8am, reports the Mirror.
Travellers have also been alerted that some stations served by Great Northern, Southern and Thameslink will be closed and train schedules altered. London Underground station staff will not be available to open some of these stations at certain times on some days, meaning passengers will not be able to enter or exit and trains will not stop there.
RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said yesterday: The mayor has to intervene. He keeps telling us to return to the negotiating table – well, if he invites us to a meeting, we will attend.
Our members are not asking for a king’s ransom. We want progress towards recognition about the impact of shift work.
“We are not asking for an immediate drop from a 35-hour week to 32. We have been discussing this since 2018 and we are open to discussions.”
