London Overground strikes planned for next week called off

Strikes planned for the Overground on March 4 and 5 next week have been called off.

RMT members with Arriva Rail London, which operates the Overground, had planned a walk-out over pay conditions.

However, it was suspended on Thursday, meaning planned disruption to key routes on the Overground will now not go ahead.

TfL said in a message to customers that normal services will now run.

The strike had been the second of two 48-hour walk-outs called the RMT in its dispute over pay.

An earlier strike, which had been due to take place on February 19 and 20 was also suspended for further talks.
