Two-day DLR strike to hit WTM delegates
A 48-hour strike on the DLR, which serves London’s ExCel centre, is causing travel problems for World Travel Market visitors, although those who attended the event this morning reported only minor inconvenience.
They are also encouraging visitors to walk from Canning Town tube station, although trains were running as far as Custom House this morning.
The strike will last for two days after negotiations between DLR operator, Keolis Amey and the RMT union over working practices failed, with the operator saying it was ‘extremely disappointing to find the RMT refusing to work with us’.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said union negotiators had ‘made every effort over the past 72 hours to resolve this dispute through negotiation’.
