London Underground strikes: Tomorrow's Tube strikes cancelled after Aslef talks with TfL
The Tube strikes planned for Thursday have been called off after talks between Aslef and TfL. A normal service will run on the Underground tomorrow.
You’ll be relieved to know tomorrow’s (Thursday, November 7th) Tube strikes have been called off.
After weeks of being told the entire London Underground network would be brought to a standstill, without any services running, Aslef has cancelled its walkout.
Tube strikes that were planned for next Thursday (November 12) have also been halted.

It comes after London Underground management, TfL, gave the union a ‘significantly improved’ pay offer.
Further discussions regarding pay and working conditions will take place tomorrow in lieu of strike action.
Claire Mann, from TfL, said: “We believe we have made an offer to our trade unions that is fair, affordable, good for our colleagues and good for London and we urge our trade unions to continue working with us.”
Finn Brennan, from Aslef, said the union was "pleased" strike action had been averted at this time but could not reveal any other details from the meeting.
The decision by Aslef follows a similar move by the RMT union, who called off their planned strikes on Friday.
This means all London Underground services will be operating as normal tomorrow and next Tuesday - much to the relief of commuters and Londoners.
