New dates in early September when everyone's back at work and school
and just before when the Night Tube is due to start. Clearly a "keep
the pressure on" tactic.

That sounds like the week starting 7th September - which is when
Parliament returns. Lots of unhappy MPs in the offing.

It's also the week when the Labour leadership and mayoral candidate
elections conclude. I wonder if the strike would influence the results?
It would certainly allow Comrade Corbyn to demonstrate his solidarity with
the downtrodden Tube workers, and embarrass the other candidates, who
wouldn't want to either support or condemn the strike.
