London Underground trains will travel at less than 50mph on the Victoria line when drivers protest against 'extreme noise levels'.

Passengers will be familiar with the sound of wheels screeching against rails, forcing some to cover their ears while travelling on the Victoria, Central, Northern and Jubilee lines.
