London Tube staff to hold second strike in two months

August 04, 2015 00:16

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.
