TfL warns of more Underground disruption next week
Transport for London is warning that Underground services are likely to be badly disrupted next week, as the RMT stages another two 24-hour strikes of drivers in the continuing dispute over a proposed four-day week. The union says the proposals are opposed by its members, while TfL says the plan is strictly voluntary.
Campaigners in Aylesbury are calling for a section of the former Great Central main line to be upgraded to passenger standards, so that their town will be connected to East West Rail. The Aylesbury Action Group says the Aylesbury spur from Claydon Junction is not merely a proposal for a future railway, but 18km of ‘shovel-ready’ infrastructure that remains the ‘vital missing link’ in the East West Rail project.
FirstGroup will be launching its open access Lumo service between Stirling and London this month. Access rights were granted by the Office of Rail and Road in March 2024, but more recent applications for other routes have not succeeded.
