London Tube strike deadlock leaves revellers facing chaos
NEW Year's Eve transport chaos appeared inevitable in London today after warring parties in the Tube dispute failed to reach agreement.
The best hope for revellers appeared to be the goodwill of Tube workers, many of whom have indicated to London Underground that they would defy the strike, a LU spokeswoman said last night.
Disruption is inevitable but there are plans for some service on all lines, throughout the night if possible, according to Transport for London.
It urged revellers to plan carefully and check services before travelling.
LU management and the RMT transport union were far from reaching an agreement today to avert the 24-hour stoppage.
The strike, set to run from noon on New Year's Eve to noon on New Year's Day, will also hit London's New Year Parade, which is due to start at midday tomorrow.
