Those running the major charity fundraising event have to collect their event pack at ExCel London by the end of Saturday. Karen Andrews from Staffordshire is raising money for her local hospital's breast care unit, where she was treated for cancer. She could not take time off work, but her husband decided to go to London during the week to collect her race pack. He will now be driving her down on Saturday.Speaking from a picket line at London's Euston Station, RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "We haven't targeted the London Marathon, we've more targeted the Tory conference - if we're honest with you - because they're the people responsible for this mess.
Next week members would be balloted again on further strikes, he added. The six-month mandate for strikes runs out at the end of November. The Aslef union also plans a train drivers' strike on 5 October, with another RMT walkout scheduled for 8 October.
