Tube workers involved in a dispute over terms and conditions are to walk out in a strike that could see Underground stations close at the last minute.

Customer service managers plan to take industrial action on Friday and then ban overtime until 5 May.

They held a strike earlier this month which the general secretary of the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) said "had a real impact".

Transport for London (TfL) said the industrial action was "disappointing".

Workers are in dispute over roles and locations.

TSSA general secretary Maryam Eslamdoust said: "It's clear that our customer service managers' strike on 10 April made a real impact, many stations shut at short notice, and we had overwhelming support from the public.

"Because of London Underground's refusal to get back round the negotiating table, we have been forced to take further strike action this week."

A TfL spokesperson said: "We are disappointed that TSSA is continuing with this strike action following a consultation process.

"While we don't expect this action will cause significant disruption, we urge TSSA to continue to work with us to help find a resolution."
