The London tube driver who led a “free Palestine” chant over the train’s speaker system in October has been reinstated after “apologising to faith leaders”, Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed.
According to footage that emerged on social media in October, the unidentified driver of the Central Line service could be heard saying, “Free, Free” to which passengers responded “Palestine”, just two weeks after the Hamas massacre.
TfL suspended the driver following the viral incident and launched an investigation into his conduct.
A TfL spokesperson said on Wednesday: “We can confirm that, following a thorough internal investigation in accordance with our agreed formal process, disciplinary action has been taken with regard to the driver who made announcements on the Central line on October 21 last year.
