They are neither lazy nor work shy. They are fighting cuts to the safety regime on trains that keep us safe. This is not about money.
Anyway there will be tube trains for the final.

He'd have a job he's been dead a few years now.
Cheers for the heads up fellas. Just Checked on Google maps; Wembley Central is a 5 minute walk from my hotel. Ideal for an old crusty like me!
I am staying at the Travelodge there Saturday night. I stayed there for the league cup final. Wembley central is right there. Anyone thinking of stocking up on beer and food at Euston I wouldn't bother there is a Tesco outlet right next to Wembley central and loads of eating places too, plus other supermarkets.

For clarity tube services should not be affected Cup Final weekend.
The strike by train maintainers over the weekend is designed to reduce the number of available trains for the week following. Trains can’t leave depot unless they have been checked over every three days. LU want to drastically reduce the frequency of safety checks.
If I am wrong I promise to give each one of you a lift on the back of my lambretta from Harrow and Wealdstone station to wembley. Might be a slow process but probably more reliable than the Bakerloo line.

Thanks for the offer, what's the weather forecast? Do I need my Parka or will my Harrington do?
