London Tube staff to hold second strike in two months
August 04, 2015
London's Underground network will shut down this week for the second time in two months after talks again broke down in a dispute over all night services, trade unions said today. 

There will be no Tube train services from Wednesday evening and all day on Thursday after three unions rejected a revised offer of terms and conditions for their staff. 

The walk-out comes less than a month after a 24-hour strike in July saw the first total shutdown of the network since 2002, and will inevitably cause major disruption to millions of commuters and tourists in the capital.
