The London Tube strike planned for Tueday has been cancelled, union bosses have announced.

National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) said the scheduled industrial action for London Underground workers was suspendedbut that it remained in dispute with TfL over pay, the planned Night Tube service and station staffing.

General Secretary Mick Cash said strike action planned for February was still in place.

"RMT's executive has agreed to suspend tomorrow's action over pay and night tube to allow for further consideration and consultation on the current offer," he said.

"The union makes it clear that we remain in dispute and the strike action scheduled for February remains on.

"RMT also remains in dispute over station staffing and the week of action on that issue, scheduled to begin from the seventh of February, also remains on and the union is finalising the details for the continuation of that industrial campaign and the on-going fight over the threat to jobs, services and safety."

The strike was set to take place for 24 hours, and was expected to have caused widespread disruption in the capital.
