00:03Charity Guide Dogs UK warns London Underground strikes could put blind and partially sighted
00:08passengers at risk and reduce independence across the capital. Members of the Rail, Maritime and
00:13Transport Union will walk out on Tuesday and Thursday for 24 hours from midday over shift
00:19pattern disputes. Transport for London says tube services will see disruption with some lines
00:24shutting and others heavily reduced during the strike periods. Guide Dogs UK says changes to
00:30travel will make journeys less predictable and harder for blind people, especially where
00:35alternative routes are busier and less accessible. Passengers are advised to plan ahead and check
00:41journeys carefully.
