Why have the Tube strikes been called off?

Strikes by London Underground workers which would have wiped out Tube services this week have been suspended, the RMT union has announced.

Little or no service had been expected across the capital's entire network from Sunday evening to Friday morning.

The 5% pay rise offer was described by Transport for London (TfL) as "the most we can afford". But it said an "intervention" by The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan had allowed pay talks to be reopened.
