Mike Bagshaw, managing director for MTR Elizabeth line, said prior to Aslef’s announcement: “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.
However, the union announced it has accepted a new offer from the line's operator, MTR, increasing the average train driver salary to £75,000.
The Elizabeth Line train drivers' salary issue has been settled, putting an end to the possibility of strikes.
This week, Elizabeth Line drivers have reached a new deal with MTR to raise their salaries to £75,000.
The Elizabeth Line isn’t part of TfL, but it does manage the line's infrastructure and has a concession agreement with the line's operator.
