London commuters face woe as talks to avert Tube strike fail

The Rail, Maritime and Transport Union left last-minute talks Saturday without an agreement being reached. The smaller Transport Salaried Staffs Association is still meeting with management.

Transport for London, which operates the network, says all central London subway stations will be closed during the walkout.

Mayor Sadiq Khan says the strike will “cause misery and disruption to millions of Londoners.”

London’s subway system handles more than 4 million journeys during a typical business day.
