London Overground train drivers have suspended strike action planned for November 26 after union members received a pay offer.
The Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF) union said the decision followed a pay offer made to its members by the company, which will now be put to a vote.

The strike, which could still go ahead, would affect services throughout London’s overground system.
Mick Whelan, ASLEF general secretary, said: “Members at London Overground will now have the opportunity to consider and vote on whether to accept the offer. This isn’t a top-down process. Our members – the people who kept the country moving, driving trains through the pandemic – make the decision.”
Drivers working for eleven other train operators across Britain still plan to walk out over ongoing pay disputes, on November 26, according to the union.
