DRIVERS’ union Aslef threatened another shutdown of the London Tube last night, calling a 24-hour strike for August 5.
A meeting of the union’s executive approved plans for a repeat walkout in protest at plans to force staff to work nights as part of plans for 24-hour Tube services.
London mayor Boris Johnson admitted last week that the start date of the “night Tube” could be delayed.
