Strike: Tube services will be disrupted during the three-day walkout
Tube workers will walk out on a three-day strike next Sunday over concerns about safety on the Underground.
Services will stop at 6.30pm on Sunday, April 6, after members of the RMT and TSSA unions voted in favour of strike action in protest at reduced staffing levels.
They also claim standards are at risk from plans to close 40 ticket offices.
The strike, which will end at 6.30pm on Wednesday, April 9, will bring severe disruption for commuters, hitting rush hour services on three working days.
Transport for London said the issues raised by the unions were being addressed through the normal negotiating process and there was no need for a strike.
