The scheduled strike action by more than 3,000 members at London Underground stations on Wednesday, 4 and Friday, 6 October will no longer take place.

This decision comes after productive discussions at ACAS, during which the RMT succeeded in preserving essential job positions, preventing unfavourable adjustments to work schedules, and ensuring income protection concerning grading alterations.

While important strides have been made in resolving crucial aspects of the dispute, broader negotiations are ongoing regarding job roles, pensions, and working agreements.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch 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."
