The worst London tube line for phone thefts

The tube can be stressful at the best of times. It's busy, it's often running late, and on top of it all you've got to keep vigilant to ensure you don't end up stepping off the carriage with fewer belongings than you had when you got on. Phone theft has been a big problem in London in the past few years, but it's not just drive-by robbers you have to be aware of.

Tube staff offered new three-year pay deal to end strike threat

Tube staff have been offered a three-year pay deal that could avert the threat of more strikes on the London Underground. The deal would provide a 3.4 per cent rise for the current financial year, followed by an amount equal to the RPI rate of interest for 2026/27 and 2027/28. This could mean that all 16,500 Tube staff see their wages rise by around 10 per cent over the three-year period.
