Commuters will be hit with two 24-hour tube strikes next week after talks with transport bosses broke down.

On March 1 and 3 some 10,000 London Underground workers who are union members have been told to walk out at 00:01.

Overground services through Brentford railway station are likely to be impacted and delays are expected on the Piccadilly line.

The dispute is over plans by Transport for London to cut up to 600 station posts, plus concerns over pay, pensions and working conditions.

Tube chiefs said they expected "severe disruption across all Tube lines", with stations closed and little or no service across the network.

Passengers have been advised to work from home if possible on strike days.
