London Tube strike – latest: Victoria and Jubilee among lines disrupted during Friday rush hour

 

Five Tube lines will be severely affected this morning by strike action taken by London Underground (LU) workers.

 

Transport for London (TfL) said the Central, Jubilee, Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria lines will be severely disrupted for 24 hours from 4.30am on Friday.

 

Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) members are also planning to strike on six other nights: this Saturday (27 November), and on Friday 3 December, Saturday 4, Friday 10, Saturday 11, and Friday 17.

 

As the strikes cross into Friday evening rush hour, only 58 per cent of the regularly scheduled service is running, Andy Lord, managing director of London Underground confirmed.

 

The Mayor of London said the strike action came at the “worst possible time” as shoppers attempted to attend Black Friday sales and Londoners anticipated the return of the Night Tube. Sadiq Khan urged RMT to return to negotiations after accusing the union of refusing to meet TfL for crunch talks yesterday.

 

The RMT has said that LU has abolished 200 Tube driver positions and has imposed “unacceptable and intolerable” new rotas on existing drivers to cover Night Tube services. The union says this would “wreck the work-life balance” of members.

Star Myths of the World

 

How did the Maori know Saturn has rings?

March 18, 2013

 

"Can you see the rings of Saturn with your naked eye, or even with binoculars? It seems impossible (I certainly cannot, nor do I know of anyone who claims to be able to do so). Modern awareness of Saturn's rings did not come about until well after Galileo (Galileo did observe Saturn and the rings in 1610 with his telescope, but not well enough to know what they were – the world would have to wait another forty-five years before Christiaan Huygens described the rings as a disk around the planet in 1655).

 

However, there is evidence that the Maori of Aotearoa (New Zealand) were aware of the rings around Saturn. In The Astronomical Knowledge of the Maori, Genuine and Empirical, published by Elsdon Best in Wellington, NZ in 1922, there is preserved a host of accounts from the Maori themselves of their star-lore and planet-lore."
