Sir Sadiq Khan has urged Elizabeth line bosses and a union threatening strikes to “get round the table”, as he insisted there was still “some time” for them to “resolve their differences”.
Aslef, which represents train drivers on the cross-London line, announced on Thursday that its members will stage four days of strikes in a dispute over pay.
According to the line’s managers, the strike was called after drivers belonging to the union rejected a 4.5 per cent pay increase.
