Planned strikes by London Underground drivers over pay have been suspended.

Members of Aslef were due to walk out on Thursday and again next Tuesday – which would have crippled Tube services.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport union had already called off strikes by its members after resolving a dispute over pay.

Finn Brennan, Aslef’s full-time organiser on London Underground, said: “Following fresh talks, and an improved offer, Aslef has agreed to suspend our planned industrial action on London Underground.

“Details of the offer will be discussed with our reps at a meeting on Thursday. We are pleased that this progress has been made and that strike action has been averted at this time.”
