The union leader whose members are set to shut the London Underground in a dispute over pay and conditions says he is “not optimistic” of averting the strikes. About 2,000 Tube drivers belonging to Aslef are due to walk out on Thursday and again next Tuesday, with each strike beginning at midnight and lasting 24 hours.'
