Tube Runs Normally Despite Strike

Maintenance workers may have downed tools and popped off to the pub to watch the football, but tube services remain running as normal complete with the season's regular exhortations to carry a bottle of water at all times. Tube Lines challenged the legality of the RMT's ballot and Bob Crow trotted out his standard-issue 'massive victory for the workers' speech but so far (fingers crossed) services remain unaffected. Weekend travellers, however, won't be so lucky with part closures for engineering planned for eight lines. Photo by Shakespearesmonkey
