The Tube strike has been suspended after the on-going dispute resulted in the reinstatement of nearly 60 per cent of axed jobs.

The RMT today (February 3) confirmed the planned walkout, which was set to cause three days of travel misery from February 6 to 8, has been suspended.

The strike threat emerged after station staff jobs were cut by around 900 and Tube ticket offices closed under ex-London Mayor Boris Johnson.

The RMT said 533 jobs have been reinstated as a result of its campaign.

RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said: "The fighting stance taken by RMT members since the jobs cull on our tube stations was first announced has reversed nearly 60 per cent of those savage cuts.

"That is a tremendous victory and a reflection of the resilience and determination of our reps and the membership right across London Underground.

"We will now continue to work on implementation of the new staffing arrangements at the local level and as always RMT remains eternally vigilant."
