Tube strike called off after last-ditch talks

Tomorrow’s 24-hour London Underground drivers’ strike has
been called off after talks between management and unions.

Unions have been claiming an additional £1,600 for passenger
train drivers, to match their salaries with those of workers who drive
engineering trains.
