The planned 24-hour tube strike by London Underground maintenance workers tomorrow has been called off.

Nearly 1,500 RMT members were due to strike from 6.30am on Friday, February 12 over a dispute about working conditions and safety.

The union said it suspended industrial action after it received confirmation a comprehensive review would be held.

RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "The hard work of RMT’s negotiating team, backed by a determined and rock-solid workforce, has enabled us to secure a two week block on these track access changes to allow for a comprehensive safety review prior to a return to ACAS.

“The dispute remains live, further strike action remains in place from early March and the action short of a strike also remains in force.

“The union has made itself available for the safety review and the continuing talks and we remain determined to secure a long-term agreement that protects the safety culture across London Underground.”

Six more planned strikes will still remain, with the next due on Sunday, March 6.

Two 24-hour strikes are due to happen on Friday, March 25 and Sunday, March 27.

And three 12-hour strikes are due to happen on Sunday, April 24, Sunday, May 15 and Sunday, June 12.
