Planned strike action on the London Underground has been suspended.

More than 3,000 union members had planned to strike on Wednesday 4 October and Friday 6 October.

The RMT union said “significant progress” had been made in negotiations.

Mick Lynch, general secretary of RMT, said: “I congratulate all our members who were prepared to take strike action and our negotiations team for securing this victory in our tube dispute.

“Without the unity and industrial power of our members, there is no way we would have been able to make the progress we have.

“We still remain in dispute over outstanding issues around pensions and working agreements and will continue to pursue a negotiated settlement.”
