Hundreds of thousands of commuters face a travel nightmare due to a 24-hour 'Tube' strike finishing next Monday, October 4 over planned cuts to London Underground. Rail Maritime and Transport union general secretary Bob Crow said: "RMT remains totally opposed to the planned Tube cuts which will have devastating consequences for passenger and staff safety. We now have the ludicrous situation where passenger groups are being consulted after London Underground have already begun bulldozing through their plans." He continued: "That makes a mockery of the process and reinforces the union position that the cuts be halted to allow proper discussions and negotiations."
