RMT Press Office:
Tube union RMT, has called for a ban on e-bikes across London Underground after one caught fire on a station last month.
The incident could have been far worse if the e-bike had been inside a tube train, putting those on board at severe risk.
RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said: "TfL needs to take immediate action and ban e-bikes from London Underground just as they do with e-scooters.
"We have been calling for TfL to take this action to safeguard tube workers and passengers alike for over a year.
"We've raised our concerns with London Mayor Sadiq Khan and urge TfL to do the right thing and take action now."
