"And the miners..." was referring to the above comment: "Only needs Unite and TSSA to join in on 15 March 2023".
I thought about using the quote facility, but lately we are being discouraged from doing so, especially if quoting the previous post.

I think short quotes are OK, if they are needed for context. Particularly if it’s not immediately apparent which preceding post is being replied to/referenced.

When a whole, very long post is being quoted, it is often helpful to quote the relevant parts of the post so that everyone can see the part of the discussion the new post refers to. It's also often unnecessary to quote the previous post - the quote feature is there to allow posters to refer to a post higher up in the chain more easily, whereas a reply to the previous post only needs a new post rather than a quote. |

My apologies, I think I must have misread your reply. It might have helped had I noticed (and opened) the link!

Usually the day after a strike services have generally recovered by about 10am when there aren't unrelated problems, but I've just looked and parts of the Met, Piccadilly and Bakerloo still have severe delays attributed to the strike action and several other lines have minor delays with the stated cause.
While I fully support the strikes, I'm curious why this one is taking longer to recover from than typical?

When starting up some 3 or 4 hours later than normal, in the first instance its not easy to get all trains into their correct timetabled paths. Controllers will be trying to get trains out of stabling locations at the wrong end of lines using drivers that on the earlies will be due their meal reliefs at locations remote from where they're just starting out. Some trains are started up by night turns who will have been striking last night so those trains will need to have drivers found to get them out. It's a logistical nightmare.
Usually when there's a strike it's only one union involved so only certain parts of the railway are affected but with both the main Unions going out together yesterday, more parts of the railway were affected and therefore, internally at least, the impact is bigger to recover from.
I suspect an added complication this morning was that strikes on Network Rail meant some LU staff were unable to get to their booking on location on time. Trackernet was also playing up this morning which for some parts of LU internally was a problem as they rely on it as their prime source of information.

The District had to await early turn depot shunters to book-on (0700) before any services left depots, then early station staff shifts before stations could be fully opened.
Trains left depots around 0730, initially non-stopping stations until staff were available to open the Line fully around 0815.

How come West Ham was open on 15 March for C2C and DLR services ?

Presumably because enough staff who are trained at that station showed up for work. It's all above ground so there might not be a minimum staffing level, in which case the number of staff needed could be as little as one person to unlock it at the start of the day and one person to lock it up again at the end.

In the announcement from ASLEF it referred to LU APD grades, what does APD stand for ?

Asset Performance Directorate I should think. London Underground engineering and maintenance.

The strike warning was on the journey planner yesterday but now they've magically disappeared! The dedicated 'strikes' page was also displaying there was a tube strike but as of today they have no such knowledge of the strike!
This is the message they were giving to customers:

Indeed, Pension reform review pushed back until September 2026; new Attendance at Work procedures withdrawn and Trains Modernisation Plan paused.

So more or less back to square 1. The Attendance at Work procedures were introduced after the dispute was entered, and the pension reform review wouldn't have had any teeth until 2026 anyway. Not sure on the Trains Modernisation Plan, don't know much about that.

Only thing left to sort out right now is the pay deal, hopefully they will up the 4% offer, otherwise that might be another thing added to the dispute.
