SW Railway is completely shut down on the Richmond Loop & Chessington this weekend due to engineering yet the disruption is getting no coverage by GB News or the Mail

Good thing we have the Minimum Service Levels Act 2023 to stop London being held to ransom yet again.....well we did until the current government repealed it! Maybe they can use some of the money they are "saving" from the planned NHS England redundancies to give TFL yet another bailout to pay for it. Probably just come from the people who work/have worked and saved as usual.

That would be some of OUR money I take it?

From what I understand, there's not really much anything TfL can 'give' on this one, and the RMT won't want to lose face either. Added to this, Coldplay has postponed their dates so the damage (for hundreds of thousands) has already been done.Needless to say, if the Mayor throws some money at the problem it might just go away.

Who's going to blink first, the RMT or Khan?

Other websites give an earlier start to the strikes. Like this from https://www.timeout.com/london/news/how-to-get-around-london-during-next-weeks-tube-strikes-082925The strikes will begin at 6pm on Friday September 5, with different people walking out on each day until September 11, but the effect – halted tube trains – will be the same whichever people are striking on a given day. Here’s what that will look like in practice:    Friday September 5: No service on Underground lines after 6pm.    Saturday September 6: No service on Underground lines all day    Sunday September 7: No service on Underground lines OR DLR all day    Monday September 8: No service on Underground lines OR DLR all day    Tuesday September 9: No service on Underground lines OR DLR all day    Wednesday September 10: No service on Underground lines OR DLR all day    Thursday September 11: No service on Underground lines OR DLR all day
