Strikes by London Underground workers which would have crippled Tube services this week have been suspended, the RMT union has announced.
The union have suspended their planned tube strike this week following talks with TfL.
Planned action from Monday to Thursday will no longer go ahead after RMT made progress in discussions with TfL today.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “Following further positive discussions today, the negotiations on a pay deal for our London Underground members can now take place on an improved basis and mandate with significant further funding for a settlement being made available.
“This significantly improved funding position means the scheduled strike action will be suspended with immediate effect and we look forward to getting into urgent negotiations with TfL in order to develop a suitable agreement and resolution to the dispute.”
Londoners faced “little to no” service on Tube lines as strike action was set to cause severe travel disruption in the capital.
Transport for London (TfL) has advised customers who must travel on the London underground to complete their journeys by 5.30pm on Sunday as industrial action by striking tube workers was due to begin.
