UK/London: 24 Hour Tube Strike Starting June 9th

[Peterkro]

Instead of being out in the sunshine I've been sidetracked into reading about tube systems,Moscow is pretty groovy. I like this:On all lines, travellers can determine the direction of the train by the gender of the announcer: on the ring line, a male voice indicates clockwise travel, and a female voice counter-clockwise.

I'm also impressed that London has a Moscow stylee tube station Gants Hill (part of London I can't recall ever being in )

Gants Hill:

I must admit, after seeing some of London's grotty stations, seeing chandeliers dangling from the ceiling of some of Moscow's stations was certainly different

Never really experienced one of these strikes before, will it be all staff striking?

East Midlands Trains is having some union trouble lately, their drivers are refusing to do Sunday working.

Gants Hill:

Strangely enough I got off at this station today...

[Fun Fact]They also deferred opening the loop where that station is so it could be used as an Air Raid shelter during World War 2.
