#273805 - 08/01/2006 13:50 Tube strike?
tman carpal tunnel Registered: 24/12/2001 Posts: 5528	Does anybody know 100% whether the tube strike in London (UK ) is actually going ahead? The RMT website says yes it will. The TFL one is badly broken currently and still says they're negotiating. The tube enquiry line is busy as expected. If they are on a strike, LUL doesn't even know what stations are open or not! Argh...

Outlying stations are most likely to be affected. I'm only a 10 minute walk to work _________________________ Mk2a RioCar 120Gb - now sold to the owner of my old car Rio Karma - now on ebay...

All that happened was that the tube train stayed at Russel Square for 5 minutes because of some undisclosed safety reason.
