Tube services will run as originally planned after industrial action was suspended
Planned strikes on the London Underground have been suspended following talks over pay between the Aslef union and Transport for London (TfL).
Industrial action was due to begin on Thursday and a walkout was also planned for next Tuesday.
Aslef said it had been given a "significantly improved" pay offer by London Underground management and it would discuss that offer with union members on Thursday.
Claire Mann, from TfL, said: “We believe we have made an offer to our trade unions that is fair, affordable, good for our colleagues and good for London and we urge our trade unions to continue working with us.”
Finn Brennan, from Aslef, said the union was "pleased" strike action had been averted at this time.
He said he was unable to reveal any further details until after Thursday's meeting.
