London Underground train operators who belong to the RMT are set to stage three pairs of walkouts in March, April and May in a dispute over four-day working, which would mean fewer but longer shifts. It is reported that ASLEF is not objecting to the idea, but the RMT says it is concerned about the possibilities of staff becoming tired, putting safety at risk, and that its members have also voiced objections about shift lengths and unacceptable working time arrangements.

Glasgow Central station is closed again today, after a devastating fire destroyed a building alongside on Sunday night. The high level platforms are still sealed off, while although trains are running through the low level station they are not stopping.
