Default Met Line Strike

In article , CJG NEWSGROUP@ne

Heard a rumour/story about Met Line train driver who opened the doors on the
wrong side of the train at a platform. Didn't check to see if anyone actually
did get off the wrong side. Closed the doors. Opened the other side. Then went
off. Station assistant complained. Driver has got sacked. Met Line drivers are
going to go on strike to get him reinstated.
True or not?


It was on the BBC London News last night (accompanied by library footage
of a Central Line train.) So it's definitely, err, maybe a rumour.
