Further disruption as London Tube strike continues
Long queues for buses and taxis were seen outside tube stations across London
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union claims 600 jobs will be lost under the TfL plans and its members face "detrimental" changes to their pensions and working conditions. TfL said nobody would lose their job under current proposed changes. It had proposed not recruiting about 500 to 600 posts as they became vacant, in order to fulfil a previous funding agreement with the government."I know the RMT are unhappy with the deal we have from the government who attached many strings - I'm unhappy too - but the RMT should be working with me to remove these strings rather than punish Londoners," he said.
Downing Street condemned the strike due to its impact on passengers and businesses, calling it "deeply disappointing".Station staff will not work overtime, which may result in short notice station closures, the RMT said.
