Strike action on Central and Bakerloo lines suspended
The planned strike action on the Central and Waterloo & City lines that was due to take place this Friday and Saturday has officially been suspended.
London mayor Sadiq Khan said: “It's good news for Londoners that the strike planned on the Central Line this weekend has been called off. The strike would have caused major disruption for commuters and shoppers around the busy Christmas period.
“Since I became Mayor the number of days lost to strikes on the tube has been reduced by 65%. This is because we have listened to the concerns of workers and engaged in constructive dialogue with the trade unions. I want to wish all passengers and staff across London an enjoyable and happy Christmas.”
Director of line operations for London Underground Nick Dent said: “I welcome the decision by the RMT to suspend the strike action around Christmas. We have engaged in constructive discussions in recent days and have agreed on ways to resolve these disputes, avoiding unnecessary disruption around such an important period for customers, tourists and businesses alike.”
