DHAKA: London Underground workers are to take five days of strike action over Tube ticket office closures.

The RMT Union has announced, reports the BBC.

The row is about the closure of all 260 Tube ticket offices and 960 job cuts.

Members will walk out from 21:00 BST on 28 April for two days and again from the same time on 5 May for three days.

Widespread disruption was caused in February when Tube workers took strike action for one day. A second day was postponed so talks could take place.

At the time, the unions, RMT and TSSA, said London Underground had agreed to hold two months of talks, which would include a station-by-station review of the ticket office closures.
