The London Underground personnel are due to go on a 24-hour strike tonight to protest against job cuts.

The trade union demands that the management give up plans to lay off workers.

Transportation problems in the UK capital are expected to emerge as early as this morning.

The London authorities are ushering in more buses and using more ships on the Thames to make up for the strike consequences.
