Last-ditch talks aimed at averting strikes by London Underground workers in a row over ticket office closures are to be held.
Last-ditch talks aimed at averting strikes by London Underground workers in a row over ticket office closures are to be held.
Posters warning commuters about the effect of the Tube strike have appeared at stations ahead of Monday's planned 48-hour walkout.
Talks between London Underground and the RMT union have so far failed to avert the strike.
ITV London's Political Correspondent Simon Harris tweeted:
Tube strike alert! Warning posters appear at stations ahead of Monday's 48-hour walkout by the RMT. @itvlondon http://t.co/d6NXz5M1Rd

A new war of words erupted today in the increasingly bitter dispute over ticket office closures on London Underground.
A fresh attempt to halt next week's tube strike was thrown into doubt as it emerged the RMT union may boycott new peace talks.
