industrial action forces management to review all ‘Fit For The Future- Stations’ plans - talks have now started and will run until early April.

Congratulations to RMT and TSSA strikers and to those ASLEF drivers who respected picketlines. Strike saw: no Central line service through central London; Waterloo & City line closed allday; LUL had to draft in ‘Ambassadors’ and even Directors to keep stations open; ‘strongest strikein memory’ on stations, trains, service control and revenue control.
