November Tube Strikes: What you need to know

BBC London’s transport correspondent, Tom Edwards, said: “The RMT union says it has received a significantly improved offer and, although TfL says there’s no new money, something seems to have changed to get the strike suspended.

“The previous pay offer was 3.8% + £450. More talks will now take place.

“Aslef says it’s reasonably happy with the pay offer but it wants to discuss moving to a four-day week in line with other operators.

“At the moment the strike which will shut the Tube on Thursday and Tuesday 12 November is very much on.”

TfL’s chief operating officer, Claire Mann, said: “We are pleased that the RMT has suspended its planned industrial action on the London Underground network to allow further talks.

“We will continue to work closely with all our trade unions, and urge Aslef to also call off its planned action next week.”
