TWO 24-hour strikes next week by London Underground drivers have been called off after progress in talks over working hours, but further planned walkouts remain on.

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) were due to strike from 12pm next Tuesday and again for 24 hours from noon next Thursday.

The union is in dispute over changes to the working week, but it said today that progress had been made in talks with London Underground (LU) management.
