Tube strikes are continuing in London as the city enters the fifth day of disruption to the London Underground. Officials at Transport for London (TfL) have warned commuters will have disruptions through the week as workers strike over pay and working conditions. This has caused Tube service to be in disarray.
Downing Street said passengers were “fed up” and asked for union bosses and transport officials to find a solution. “I think Londoners will rightly be fed up with the disruption from Tube strikes this morning — as parents try and drop their kids off at school, get to hospital appointments, get to work — and RMT and TfL need to get back around the table, work together to resolve this dispute in the interests of passengers,” said the spokesman for the Prime Minister.
Rail, maritime and transport leaders are asking for better pay, shorter working week and travel perks for staff. TfL has said these demands are not affordable.
