More than 3,000 union members had planned to strike on Wednesday 4 October and Friday 6 October.

The RMT union said "significant progress" had been made in negotiations and that it has managed to save jobs, prevent detrimental changes to rosters and secure protection of earnings around grading changes.

"The significant progress means that key elements have been settled although there remains wider negotiations to be had in the job, pensions and working agreements dispute," a spokesperson for the union said.

Mick Lynch, RMT general secretary, said: "I congratulate all our members who were prepared to take strike action and our negotiations team for securing this victory in our tube dispute.

"Without the unity and industrial power of our members, there is no way we would have been able to make the progress we have.

"We still remain in dispute over outstanding issues around pensions and working agreements and will continue to pursue a negotiated settlement."

Nick Dent, London Underground's director of customer operations, said: "We are pleased that the RMT has withdrawn its planned industrial action this week and that the dispute on our change proposals in stations is now resolved.
