Tube drivers on the Central line are to stage a 15-hour strike over the "displacement" of staff.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers Union (RMT) will walk out at 21:00 on 21 February.
Drivers on the Central and Waterloo & City lines went on strike in January in the same dispute.
...
Steve Griffiths, London Underground's chief operating officer, said the drivers have been asked "to move to another line where they would make a real difference to the service our customers receive".
And the unions are against it. Make those drivers redundant, as they are not needed where they are.
