Default Tube strike this week - Weds 8 and Thurs 9 July

Info from TfL:
https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/tube/tube-strike

"If the strike goes ahead, there will be no Tube service from late
afternoon on Wednesday 8 July and no Tube service at all on Thursday 9
July. All other public transport services and roads will be much busier
than usual, so please check before you travel."

Might actually happen. The turnout in the ASLEF strike ballot was high,
as were the votes in favour of a strike - 98% yes on an 81% turnout.

Not sure the RMT has stated what its strike ballot turnout was, but
91.8% voted to strike.

The TSSA meanwhile had 76% in favour of a strike on a 44% turnout.

The ASLEF turnout of course more than meets the government's proposed
50% turnout rule for a strike ballot.

Also from this FT article - "Last-ditch talks aim to head off London
Tube strike":

The 24-hour walkout on Wednesday evening would cause the most widespread
disruption on the capital’s Tube network in more than a decade. Most
strikes in recent years have largely involved station workers rather
than Tube drivers.

Though think that must refer to strikes that actually happened, rather
than those which were just threatened. There were also strikes by
infrastructure workers too a few years back.
