You've been getting in touch and posting on the BBC London Facebook page, external about the two 24-hour Tube strikes later this month. here are a few of your reactions.

• Avril Reynolds said, external: "Underground train drivers want more time with their families but more pay for less hours . They then think that striking and causing maximum disruption to innocent people like myself who need the tube to get to work and attend hospital appointments with disabled children is justified!!!!!"

• While Nathan Lecointe said, external: Why doesn't anyone think about bus drivers that work 7 days in a row huh?!?!? We still carry on

• But Jack Piggott is for the action. He said, external: As a person living and travelling in London every day, this causes mayhem. But, go train drivers! I'm all for a protest. I hope you're successful in not letting TfL take advantage of you.

The second of the two 24-hour Tube strikes called for by the RMT, TSSA and Unite on 27 August will affect some people heading to the Reading Festival from or via London which begins on 28 August.

Tube driver Jonathan Pearce has posted on the BBC London Facebook page, external to give his side of the story.

He writes, external: "This is about one of my 2 rest days being used to sleep after the nights to be ready for a 0445 shift on the Monday morning, my family barely see me as it is but I should roll over and accept this? Barely any of us have mentioned money, just commitments to protect our few weekends off we actually get and rest days!!!"

Two one-day strikes in little over a month have already disrupted journeys for hundreds of thousands of passengers and now the RMT, external has called two further 24-hour stoppages.

Because they begin in the evening, the strikes will effectively disrupt Tube services over four different days.

The RMT says it hasn't received a strong enough guarantee on the extra night and weekend shifts Tube drivers will have to work, but London Underground, external says it has provided assurances over work/life balance as well as a 2% pay rise, on average, for staff.

• The RMT, external will walk-out at 21:00 on both dates

• The TSSA, external and Unite, external will walk out at 18:30 on both days

The mews building where the unexploded WWII bomb was discovered in Bethnal Green has now been boarded up after the device was removed.

Unite, external has also announced it will be striking alongside the RMT and TSSA in two 24-hour Tube strikes on 25 and 27 August.

Unite regional officer Hugh Roberts said: "London Underground's vague assurances over work/life balance and unsocial shifts ring hollow and don't go far enough in giving our members the security they need to plan their home life over the long-term.

"If not enough people sign up for night shifts what happens then? London Underground has made it clear that people will effectively be forced to work with its insistence that staff are contracted to work 24/7."

Steve Griffiths, London Underground's, external Chief Operating Officer, said "instead of yet more strike threats, we need level headed and sensible discussion".

He said: "Yesterday, and having previously argued that it was 'not about money', the RMT leadership made further demands for unaffordable pay rises and the hiring of even more staff.

"We have reiterated our intention to keep talking and listening and have shown flexibility by putting forward a very fair revised offer,

"Our offer guarantees the same number of weekends off as they have today....no one will be asked to work more hours than they do today....and annual leave entitlements are unchanged - 43 days for drivers and 52 days for station staff."

The TSSA, external union has announced its members will also be striking for 24 hours, alongside the RMT, from 18:30 on Tuesday 25 August and Thursday 27 August.
