Members of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) will walk out on Wednesday, April 10, and Thursday, April 11.

The union said its members are concerned about potential changes to their terms and conditions, job role and location.

TSSA general secretary Maryam Eslamdoust said the strike could have easily have been avoided.

She said: "Our Customer Service Manager members are united and determined to take strike action this week in defence of their terms and conditions.

"This strike could have been avoided if London Underground had negotiated with us in good faith.

"Instead, we have been left in a position where London Underground is still unable to explain the impact of its 'Stations Changes' proposals."

It comes after trains on some of the busiest routes were today cancelled.

Members of Aslef walked out for the third strike in the past four days, crippling services.

The strike hit c2c, Gatwick Express, Greater Anglia, Southeastern, Southern, South Western Railway, Great Northern and Thameslink.
