Tube strike: Talks to avert London Underground walkout restart Tube strike: TSSA union suspends strike after reaching deal
(about 1 hour later)
Talks have resumed between London Underground (LU) negotiators and union officials to try to avert another 48-hour Tube strike. One union has suspended its 48-hour Tube strike action after reaching a deal with London Underground (LU) over ticket office closures.
It is the eleventh day of discussions at conciliation service Acas to attempt to resolve the row over ticket office closures. TSSA members will now no longer take the industrial action, which was due to start at 21:00 GMT.
RMT and TSSA union members staged a 48-hour walkout last week, which caused travel disruption across the capital. The RMT Union is due to look at the deal that has been put forward by LU now that talks have been adjourned.
Repeat action is planned from 21:00 GMT. Talks have been taking place between LU and the unions at conciliation service Acas.
Transport for London (TfL) has published a list of services it hopes to operate should the strike go ahead. Where possible, they will run from about 07:00 to 23:00, but will start to wind down at 21:30. In a statement, Acas said Tube bosses would be writing to the unions with proposals to end the dispute.
A basic service will be in operation on all lines apart from the Waterloo and City Line, however trains will not stop at all stations. "We are hopeful of a positive response so that the proposed industrial action will be withdrawn," it added.
Extra bus services will be in operation and the Overground, DLR and trams will run as normal. Talks between the unions and LU have been taking place at Acas for 11 days.
Commuters are being asked to check @TfLTravelAlerts, @TfLTrafficNews and @TfLBusAlerts. Last week's 48-hour walkout from 4 February caused major disruption.
Last week's strike took place over plans to close all Tube ticket offices and cut 960 jobs. Transport for London (TfL) has published a list of what services it hopes to run should RMT decide to go ahead with the strike.
TfL has claimed its proposals - which do not involve compulsory redundancies - would save £50m a year. Trains will run between 07:00 and 23:00, although services will start to wind down at 21:30.
