    Tube strikes on Saturday

    There are reports there would be tube strikes this Saturday. However, some people saying they won't be and should not affect schedules. What's the possibility?

    I hope it doesn't happen as it would affect many people and I am one of them as I have to use the Metropolitan Line to Baker Street and then change to Paddington in order to board Heathrow Express train as I have a flight at 22:35.

    The people striking are the people that supply energy to network rail. Not tube drivers

                It clearly states in the Unite link that the strike will start at 00.01 on the 24th which will mean a nightmare for most of us.

                  Ok just realised I could change my flight booking without any additional charges so I have changed it to Sunday night. No worries for me, but I hope people who have trains booked outside London after the game do not face issues.

                          With it being a huge weekend in terms of Wembley hosting 3 events, I'd hope the Tube will be doing everything in their power to cancel the strike or replace the staff. We'll find out Friday!

                            People who hold big events to ransom by striking should be put in prison to rot. Forever.
