Mayor a no-show as unions meet London Underground to resolve dispute
Fresh talks will be held to try to resolve the bitter dispute over LU ticket office closures

Fresh talks will be held today to try to resolve the bitter dispute over London Underground (LU) ticket office closures as unions are poised for another 48-hour strike next week.

Negotiators from the RMT and TSSA unions will meet LU officials after the capital was brought to standstill again yesterday - but stubborn London Mayor Boris Johnson has refused to attend.

Another 48-hour stoppage will be held from 9pm next Tuesday if there is no deal.
