My distant recollection is that drivers on national rail were 80%
ASLEF, 20% RMT but the ratio was reversed on the Underground with 80% of drivers RMT, 20% ASLEF. The ASLEF drivers were concentrated on the Northern Line and one other (which I cannot remember). Is this approximately the position now? If so, why are TfL expecting significant disruption on all lines? Surely they are operating a reduced service anyway for a Bank Holiday? |

Possible ironic tweet from Gary Lineker:

Yes, I had the same recollection as you, so was surprised at the level of disruption the ASLEF strike has caused today. Perhaps the problem is that not many drivers were due to work anyway today, and if the numbers showing up falls too far, it's hard to run a service. I also wonder if TfL are all that worried about providing a good service on a Bank holiday? The revenue would be small, and the costs of beating the strike high (eg, how many managers qualified to drive would be prepared to come in?). |
