London travel news LIVE: Two Tube stations closed as TSSA staff strike

A strike by TSSA Tube staff today has seen two London Underground stations forced to close - Pimlico and Russell Square.

Customer service managers, responsible for managing stations, have been on strike since midnight.

TSSA General Secretary, Maryam Eslamdoust said: “Our Customer Service Manager members are united and determined to take strike action this week in defence of their terms and conditions.

“This strike could have been avoided if London Underground had negotiated with us in good faith. Instead, we have been left in a position where London Underground is still unable to explain the impact of its ‘Stations Changes’ proposals.

“We cannot allow the continued threats to our members' roles, locations, terms and conditions to stand unchallenged, that is why our members are taking strike action this week.”
