"Work from home": tube strikes to go ahead next week

Commuters will be hit with two 24-hour tube strikes next week after talks with transport bosses broke down.

On March 1 and 3 some 10,000 London Underground workers who are union members have been told to walk out at 00:01.

The Northern Line from Tooting Bec, Tooting Broadway and Balham will likely be impacted.

The dispute is over plans by Transport for London to cut up to 600 station posts, plus concerns over pay, pensions and working conditions.

tube chiefs said they expected "severe disruption across all Tube lines", with stations closed and little or no service across the network.

It has been advised for passengers to work from home if possible on strike days.
