Travel Desk The planned industrial action on the tubes have not resulted in any significant delays in the tube with London Underground claiming there was "minor service alterations" this morning.
The strike action began at 21:00hrs on Sunday night and ran until 03:00hrs today, but only occurred last night with all last trains running to time, and this morning customers are able to make their journeys as usual.
The RMT leadership called the strike in support of a member of staff dismissed for abusive behaviour towards his colleagues, despite the fact that the employment tribunal process to which the union agreed has not concluded and has made no findings, interim or final.
LU’s Managing Director Mike Brown today reiterated his call for the RMT leadership to await the outcome of the employment tribunal process.
Mike Brown said: “This strike action has not achieved anything and I once again call on the RMT leadership to calmly await the outcome of the employment tribunal without any further strikes. I have given the RMT leadership a written assurance that if the tribunal rules that we should re-instate or re-engage Arwyn Thomas, then we will do so. I give that assurance again now, so there can be no justification whatsoever for the RMT to continue to threaten Londoners with more pointless strike action.”
