Before becoming mayor, Sadiq Khan loved making big, bold promises. Some have come back to haunt him — not least a comment from 2016 about doing all he could “to make sure there are zero days of strikes” on the Tube.
This week there will be two 24-hour strikes — and severe disruption the following morning. The RMT union, which is calling 10,000 members out on strike, says the Tube will be effectively closed tomorrow and Thursday. TfL admits “there may be no services” on either day.
