Tube strike called off but further travel chaos still planned for commuters
A 24 HOUR Tube strike planned for tomorrow has been suspended.
The RMT Union has called off the planned strike for tomorrow
The RMT has called a halt to plans for the walk out by London Undergorund staff but has said further industrial action remains on.
The biggest rail union has suspended the strike due to commence tomorrow evening, but said it is still in dispute over plans for an all-night Tube service.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union joined other unions in deciding not to go ahead with tomorrow's walkout following lengthy talks with London Underground.
But the union said it was not calling off two further strikes planned for next month, or a week of action from February 7, in a separate row over jobs and station staffing.
Tube strikes will still take place in February the RMT Union has claimed
The union makes it clear that we remain in dispute and the strike action scheduled for February remains on
General secretary Mick Cash said: "RMT's executive has agreed to suspend tomorrow's action over pay and night tube to allow for further consideration and consultation on the current offer.
"The union makes it clear that we remain in dispute and the strike action scheduled for February remains on.
Pay, the Night Tube service and closing offices are reasons for the strike action the union said
"RMT also remains in dispute over station staffing and the week of action on that issue, scheduled to begin from the seventh of February, also remains on and the union is finalising the details for the continuation of that industrial campaign and the on-going fight over the threat to jobs, services and safety."
The ongoing dispute is over pay, the planned Night Tube and station staffing.
