AIUI Aslef and TSSA staff will show up as normal, but because critical

I thought there had been some knowledgeable talk that Aslef members
might refuse to cross RMT picket lines?

Hadn't seen anything here, but that doesn't mean nobody's mentioned
it. I'd based my assertion on the rules plus the fact I hadn't heard
anything about the above.

Taking a strike day off when you're not a member of the union that
voted for it is legally not on, post-Thatcher.

And then I'd wondered about that very point.

Semi-relatedly, these people reckon that these services will run:
http://londonunlocked.org/?p=870

o Jubilee – no more than 25% running

o Northern – 50-60% running

o Piccadilly – Extreme ends only but not including Heathrow.

o Bakerloo – May be able to run 20% service on Wed; possibility of
running Wembley Central to Baker Street.

o Central – 40-50% of services, perhaps between White City/Ealing
Broadway to Epping.

o Metropolitan – 20% max; due to signalling Aylesbury branch of
Chiltern Line could be affected.

o City and Hammersmith – 13 trains.

o District – Less than 20%.

o Waterloo and City – unlikely to operate.

o Victoria – unlikely to operate.

Based on what, is not entirely clear.
