London Underground to consult customers on service changes

LONDON Underground users are to be consulted on the future of the vital services they depend on.

Transport for London (TfL) bosses stand accused of failing to consult users over plans to axe ticket offices and staff — which rail union RMT has resisted with strike action.

Now RMT is organising a conference for users to speak out on London Underground’s future.

London Underground carries as many passengers as the rest of Britain’s rail network put together. 

Under the misnomer of “modernisation,” Mayor Boris Johnson has pushed for closures, unstaffed stations, driverless trains, more cuts to maintenance and massive fare rises.

RMT acting general secretary Mick Cash said: “With the mayor failing to consult, RMT has decided to step in and fill the void with a conference open to all in central London on July 26.

“This is a chance for all those concerned with the future of London Underground to make their voices heard.”
