Default New Tube drivers strike on 5/6 August

From http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-33512655

London Underground drivers will stage a second 24-hour strike in a dispute
over night Tube plans, the Aslef union has said.
The walkout, set to start at 21:30 BST on 5 August, follows a strike that
closed the entire network last week.
