As London braces itself for an onslaught of industrial action across the transport network, what’s at stake, what is the Mayor doing — and will it continue for months?

We speak to transport journalist, and author of British Rail: A New History, Christian Wolmar who tells us: 

 

  • The inside story of why negotiations are so hard
  • Why both the government and unions see strikes as an advantage to them
  • How TfL and Mayor Sadiq Khan are frustrated at being stuck in the middle
  • How the current action hasn't been seen since 1982
  • What it will take to end negotiations
  • Why you should expect more strikes through summer and into the winter
