"If the strike goes ahead, there will be no Tube service from late
afternoon on Wednesday 8 July and no Tube service at all on Thursday 9
July. All other public transport services and roads will be much busier
than usual, so please check before you travel."

Might actually happen. The turnout in the ASLEF strike ballot was high,
as were the votes in favour of a strike - 98% yes on an 81% turnout.

Not sure the RMT has stated what its strike ballot turnout was, but
91.8% voted to strike.

The TSSA meanwhile had 76% in favour of a strike on a 44% turnout.

The ASLEF turnout of course more than meets the government's proposed
50% turnout rule for a strike ballot.

Tube strike":

The 24-hour walkout on Wednesday evening would cause the most widespread
disruption on the capital’s Tube network in more than a decade. Most
strikes in recent years have largely involved station workers rather
than Tube drivers.

Though think that must refer to strikes that actually happened, rather
than those which were just threatened. There were also strikes by
infrastructure workers too a few years back.

'The London Tube strike will "definitely go ahead" for 24 hours from
Wednesday evening, union Aslef has said.'

Although the effect is much more than 24hrs.

From TfL email:

"there will be no Tube service from late afternoon on Wednesday 8 July
and no Tube service at all on Thursday 9 July."

So that's at least 36hrs.

Isn't that true of all the one or two day strikes? They always start
during the middle of one day, and so screw up at least one extra day.

Entirely planned.

I've noticed how last time there was a stike the ****s didn't stand around
tube stations with their banners. Probably get so much well deserved abuse
from the public they decided not to risk it again.

Yes, which makes it even more disingenuous for the union to claim it's a
24hr strike.
