Sadiq Khan discusses rail strikes during Mayors Question Time

A leading London MP on Thursday said the Government should consider taking Transport for London out of Sadiq Khan’s hands because of the ongoing Tube strikes and proposed bus cuts. Nickie Aiken, the Tory MP for the Cities of London and Westminster, said the Government should consider stepping in to prevent further harm to Londoners. On Tuesday there was the fourth network-side shutdown of the Tube since March due to a RMT walkout over the loss of 600 station staff posts and the threat to TfL staff pensions.
