ASLEF» have announced a strike. I was asking Timmer which others I've missed joining them in the strike
Talking about London Underground industrial action... Unite have said they will join the strike action planned for 5th August. RMT▸ and TSSA» are also party to the same dispute, having had ballots in favour of action, but haven't yet stated whether they will join this latest strike. |

Tube union RMT▸ confirmed that members across London Underground will be taking strike action from 1830 hours on Wednesday 5th August to 1829 hours on Thursday 6th August. The on-going overtime ban, which has already severely impacted on staff availability to run services, also continues. The strike times for driver members will run slightly later, between 21.00 on 5th August to 20.59 on 6th August. Edited to add source: http://www.rmt.org.uk/news/rmt-confirms-tube-strike-dates/ |

Let's hope the day is not too far off when Tube trains are fully automatic and able to run without drivers - I believe it's the case in some areas already, and I'm sure that every pointless strike and day of chaos in London catalyses TfL» to push forward with this.

Indeed, and if you read further down the *same* article..... The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT▸ ) union, the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA» ) and Unite union have yet to indicate their position on the talks or the August strike. Usual cr*p BBC» journalism.....hearsay, then, at best, with nothing on the Unite website. |

Walking map showing minutes between tube stations on foot: http://www.aryjoecreatives.com/walklondonNote - there are more walking routes that tube lines - no need to walk along the circle to Notting Hill Gate and turn left onto the Cental. You can make a direct pass from Paddington to Marble Arch |
