Cleaners working on the Tyne and Wear Metro will strike for the twelfth time on Wednesday.

The cleaners, who work for Churchill, will take a further 24 hours of strike action in a battle over pay.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said the action would come to an end at 22:29 GMT on Thursday.

RMT general secretary Bob Crow, said members would be back on the picket lines in 2013 "geared up for a victory".

Services on the network have been unaffected by previous strikes by the cleaners.
