TfL urges unions to call off Wednesday's London Tube strike (Evening Standard)

Transport for London expects 'little or no service' on the Tube all day on Wednesday.

“Large parts of the capital’s economy rely on public transport for their employees and customers. “The majority of TfL services will be running as normal but may be subject to last minute changes, including non-stopping at some stations shared with London Underground. Glynn Barton, TfL’s chief operating officer, said: “I apologise to our customers for any disruption caused by Wednesday’s industrial action. Business groups have urged TfL and the unions to reach agreement “to remove this handbrake from the economy”. Buses are also expected to be overcrowded. Last week TfL wrote to the RMT and Aslef general secretaries saying the unions had an “obligation” under collective bargaining arrangements to “co-operate with the introduction of organisational change and new working arrangements”.
