Tube bosses appeal over strike


London Underground appealed for a series of Tube strikes to be called off today, saying it will reinstate a sacked driver if told to by an employment tribunal. Members of the Rail Maritime and Transport (RMT) union are due to walk out for six hours from 9pm on Sunday, followed by further stoppages during the second week of the Wimbledon tennis championships. TfL said that if Sunday's strike goes ahead, it expects to run a near-normal service on Sunday evening and Monday morning, with "very little" impact on passengers.

I think it is fair that the London Underground people are demanding better work circumstances. But strikes are a little much. Hundreds of thousands of people travel by tube every day. It would be too much trouble for so many people if the tube would go on a strike. There will be a strike during the Wimbledon tennis championships, but I think this is going to cause a lot of trouble. Loads of people don’t know how to get to Wimbledon, because most people will be tourists. If the tube won’t work, lots of people won’t even find the way to Wimbledon. It is just going to be too much trouble.
