Tube strike at Stratford station this morning
(Picture: Jeremy Selwyn)Union barons and transport chiefs on Friday faced demands to end the “triple misery” of Tube, bus and rail strikes as passsengers suffered the fifth major walkout on the London Underground this year.
The 24-hour walkout by 10,000 RMT members brought the Tube to a virtual shutdown while travellers, primarily in west London, faced further problems when about 50 bus routes were hit by strike action by drivers belonging to the Unite union over pay.
