London Underground drivers will stage a second 24-hour strike in a dispute over night Tube plans, the Aslef union has said. | |
The walkout, set to start at 21:30 BST on 5 August, follows a strike that closed the entire network last week. | |
Conciliation service Acas has invited both sides to hold talks on Tuesday in a bid to avert the fresh strike. | |
Unions are unhappy about pay and shifts for the overnight service, which is due to start on 12 September. | |
An Acas spokesman said: "Acas has written to London Underground, Aslef, RMT, TSSA and Unite, inviting them to attend exploratory talks tomorrow morning." | |
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union, the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) and Unite union have yet to indicate their position on the August strike. | |
Members of the four trade unions were involved in the last strike, which began on Wednesday night. |
