Another 24-hour walkout has begun on London Underground, as the dispute over a voluntary four-day working week goes on.
The RMT has called out its driver members, although ASLEF staff are working normally because their union is not in dispute.
Lines worst affected include the Circle and Waterloo & City, which are not running, and services on most of the Piccadilly are suspended. Some sections of the Bakerloo and Central lines also have no service, and ‘severe delays’ are reported on the rest of the Bakerloo as well as the District and Northern lines.
Other TfL services are running normally, but are likely to be more crowded than usual.
TfL said Underground passenger figures had been 41 per cent lower during the first strike, two days ago, and that it was continuing to ‘urge the RMT to work with us to resolve their questions on the proposed four-day week and to suspend any future action while that work is completed’.
Many Underground passengers turned to buses, trams, the London Overground, the DLR and the Elizabeth line during Tuesday’s walkout, because the ‘tap in’ rate was only down by 10 per cent.
The RMT said it was available ‘at any time’ for talks, which are likely to be resumed next week.
