Tube strike announced 14:27:
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union will walk out
from 21:00 on Monday 28 April for two days and again from 21:00 on
Monday 5 May for three days.

The 5th is a Bank Holiday of course, so won't disrupt commuters much.


It's planned to start at 9pm on that BH Monday, so plus 3 days takes you
up to 9pm on Thursday 8th - i.e. three days of working weekday disruption.

And I imagine that a lot of people, including both "commuters" and others,
will be affected by the Bank holiday disruption. This way, the RMT mange to
disrupt the plans of both commuters and occasional Tube users.

It does seem to be confirming that the late Bob Crow was indeed a
moderating influence on a very militant union. He probably wouldn't have
called these strikes while the ACAS talks were still continuing.
