Commuters face new Tube walkout

Tube workers have rejected a 3% pay offer

Commuters are facing more disrupted journeys on Tuesday because of a second 24-hour strike by Tube workers.

Members of the Rail Maritime and Transport (RMT) union and the drivers' union Aslef will go on strike from 2000 BST.

Services during Tuesday evening are expected to reduce rapidly with the last trains leaving central London by 2130 BST.

The network will come to a standstill on Wednesday and will not be back to normal until Thursday as trains are returned to their correct starting places for the timetable.

Offer rejected

It is the second 24-hour stoppage by the two unions as part of a dispute over pay.

London Underground (LU) imposed a 3% pay rise after the unions rejected it.

The unions claim LU has refused to go to arbitration.

In the first strike last week, millions of commuters had to make their way to work on packed buses and gridlocked roads.
