Last month's strike took place before mask-wearing became mandatory

London Underground drivers have gone on strike for the third time in as many weeks after talks to resolve a Night Tube dispute were unsuccessful.

Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) members began industrial action on the Central and Victoria lines at 20:30 GMT.

The RMT said Transport for London (TfL) had made a "series of errors" to impose Night Tube rosters without agreement.

TfL has branded the strikes, also planned for Saturday, "unnecessary".

On 26 November, a 24-hour walkout caused disruption to six lines throughout the day.

A second round of industrial action took place last weekend with further walkouts expected in the run up to Christmas.

Walkouts are planned on the Central and Victoria lines for eight hours from 20:30 GMT on the following dates:

  • Friday 10 December

  • Saturday 11 December

  • Friday 17 December

  • Saturday 18 December: also affects Jubilee, Northern, Piccadilly lines from 04:30
