Commenting on the announcement by the RMT that they are still intent on holding go-slows on the 9th and 10th December despite late night meetings with London Underground. Liberal Democrat Mayoral Candidate Simon Hughes MP said:- "Of course the safety of passengers on the Tube must be paramount, but this go-slow announcement is yet another kick in the teeth for London and Londoners. Further Tube chaos will be bad for commuters, bad for business and bad for the image of London."

Coming so close to Christmas and so soon after the massive disruption to the capital during the Bush visit, Londoners face a wretched run up to the New Year.

"The RMT and TfL must urgently sit down and sort out their differences without making the lives of millions a misery."
