RMT Union is balloting all Train Operators and Instructor Operators at Loughton, Leytonstone, and Hainault Depots on the East End of the Central Line for STRIKE ACTION following the high-handed and overly severe treatment of Train Operator Danny Davis.

Tube union RMT today called for an independent inquiry into London Undergrounds disastrous stations job cuts programs " Fit for the Future " after the ORR - the government regulator - issue London Underground with a legal "improvement notice " following the tragic death of a customer at Canning Town on the 29th of January this year .
General Secretary Mick Cash said;
"The state of transport services right across London this morning serves as the clearest possible warning to this Government that their policy of hacking back the budgets of both Network Rail and Transport for London risks dragging tube and rail in the capital city into permanent chaos.
We have received the updated report from our Central Line East Branch regarding the highhanded and overly severe treatment of Bro Davis by London Underground management and note the following:
- There are many comparators of similar and even more serious incidents where the Train Op had either no action taken against them or a much more appropriate sanction. These were ignored.
- Mitigations contributing to Bro Davis’ incident around his wife’s ongoing illness and home life were brushed over.
