London Underground drivers have called off plans to carry out strikes on the Tube network just days before they were supposed to start.Train drivers’ union Aslef announced on Tuesday (5 November) that they were suspending strike action due to take place on 7 and 12 November across the London Underground after new negotiations and an “improved offer” from transport bosses.

Planned strikes by London Underground drivers over pay have been suspended. Members of Aslef were due to walk out on Thursday and again next Tuesday - which would have crippled Tube services. The Rail, Maritime and Transport union had already called off strikes by its members after resolving a dispute over pay.

Aslef, which represents around 2,000 Tube drivers, has now called off the strikes following an “improved offer” from TfL. It comes just days after the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) also called off strikes planned for November.

Before suspending the strikes on Friday, RMT previously said they were prompted to take strike action after rejecting a pay deal, which they deemed as “wholly inadequate” that left a large number of staff excluded from collective bargaining, which is negotiations between employees and employers.

Londoners can let out a sigh of relief after all the upcoming Tube strikes have been called off by Aslef. It comes after the RMT union had already called off its walk-out which would have impacted Tube travel this week after reaching an agreement over pay.

Tomorrow’s Tube strikes have been cancelled as services will run as normal across the London Underground network.In a radical U-turn Tube Strikes will no longer go ahead tomorrow (Thursday, November 7th) following talks between Aslef and TfL.
