Tube strike
Tube drivers will be on strike Wednesday March 15 – which also happens to be Budget Day – in a dispute over pensions and working arrangements.
Aslef union members in other roles on the Underground – including Test Train and Engineering train drivers and those in management grades – also voted in favour to strike and will also take action on the same day.
Advice is to plan for your journey and check before you travel.
Once again we urge all parties to try and reach a solution as soon as possible to minimise the disruption.
