Mike Bagshaw, Managing Director for MTR Elizabeth line, told Metro: ‘Following intensive talks with ASLEF to resolve this dispute and avoid disruptive strike action for our customers, we have put forward an enhanced offer, including a 1.5x rate for rest day working with further improvements to terms and conditions.
Aslef union members working on the Elizabeth line have suspended part of their planned strike action that was expected to hit the Tube.
Drivers were set to walk out on February 27 and March 1, 8 and 10 after claims that drivers were not valued by the Elizabeth line operator MTR.
Journeys on the Elizabeth line could be affected on March 8 and 10 if MTR and Aslef fail to reach an agreement on them.
Now Aslef has said that part of the strike action has been suspended following a new pay offer.
