  • No progress on the New Year's strikes, with the RMT refusing to attend talks with LU (although the Times seems hopeful.) Ken has said "A strike will do nothing other than spoil a great night out for hundreds of thousands of Londoners."
  • Some 'good' tube news: the Jubilee line reopens today, two days ahead of schedule.
