Maintenance workers on London Underground have voted in favour of strike action in the dispute over plans for a Night Tube service. Unions suspended plans for a series of strikes by drivers, station staff and other employees earlier on. But the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) went ahead with a ballot of its members employed by Tube Lines, part of London Underground. They backed walkouts by 352 votes to 82.
