Tube strike: TSSA union suspends strike after reaching deal | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
One union has suspended its 48-hour Tube strike action after reaching a deal with London Underground (LU) over ticket office closures. | |
TSSA members will now no longer take the industrial action, which was due to start at 21:00 GMT. | |
The RMT Union is due to look at the deal that has been put forward by LU now that talks have been adjourned. | |
Talks have been taking place between LU and the unions at conciliation service Acas. | |
In a statement, Acas said Tube bosses would be writing to the unions with proposals to end the dispute. | |
"We are hopeful of a positive response so that the proposed industrial action will be withdrawn," it added. | |
Talks between the unions and LU have been taking place at Acas for 11 days. | |
Last week's 48-hour walkout from 4 February caused major disruption. | |
Transport for London (TfL) has published a list of what services it hopes to run should RMT decide to go ahead with the strike. | |
Trains will run between 07:00 and 23:00, although services will start to wind down at 21:30. |
