Huge sigh of relief for commuters after London Underground strikes for next week cancelled

Strikes planned on London’s Underground network next week have been called off at the last minute.

The RMT union announced that the strikes have been called off which would have impacted travel most significantly on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week.

The union said the decision had been made to scrap the strikes because its drivers have received an improved pay offer.

Meanwhile across London there is a reduced service also operating across the DLR network until Sunday and there is a part closure of the London Overground between Clapham Junction and Surrey Quays until later today.

Meanwhile, a section of the A46 in Warwickshire was closed while emergency services investigated a serious crash.
