Tube strikes are going ahead after talks failed to resolve a dispute over pay, rail union TSSA confirmed. Members of the association will walk out tomorrow (Wednesday, April 10) and on Thursday, April 11.

Customer service managers will walk out from 12.01am to 11.59pm on both days. They are responsible for running stations. TSSA said that its members are concerned about potential changes to their terms and conditions, job roles and locations.

It is not known which stations will be closed yet.

TSSA's 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. We’ll see how quickly London Underground get back round the negotiating table when they see the strength and determination of our members."

This comes after train driver's union Aslef announced it would call of London Underground strikes on today (April 8) and Saturday, May 4. Transport for London has not yet confirmed how the two-day strike will impact services, but has warned that some stations may need to close at short notice on those days.
