According to RMTs info to train staff:
"The RMT has ordered two days of action to highlight safety on the

tubes.
On these days, train operators will drive at a maximum of 35 miles an
hour. On areas of track of particular concern, drivers will be advised

to
drive at lower speeds.
This will affect the entire network as the union believes that there are
no areas that are up to standard.


That will be interesting to watch under ATO on the Central Line!


It will be interesting to see how a 35mph maximum on the Metropolitan line
affects services and also the knock on effect to Chiltern Railways

services!
What will Chiltern's reaction be to having their services (and their good
name) adversely affected by a dispute which has nothing whatever to do with
them.

Similarly, to a lesser extent, the impact on Silverlink services over

shared
track.


If the LU driver schedulers were clever then they could make sure they put
the non-RMT drivers on the fast Amershams and leave the RMT drivers on the
slow services.
