The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union has confirmed that a new three-year pay deal has been reached for London Underground workers, bringing an end to the threat of further strike action.

The agreement includes a 3.4% pay rise from 1 April 2025, followed by a 3% increase in year two and 2.5% in year three.

It also introduces what the union described as "fatigue-friendly" rosters, further discussions on staff travel benefits, and a "consistent" Boxing Day payment of £400 for all eligible employees.

The deal follows a series of five days of Tube strikes in September that caused widespread disruption across London's transport network.

RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said: "This deal is a clear demonstration of the effectiveness of strike action and strong negotiation by our members."

A Transport for London (TfL) spokesperson commented: "We welcome the decision from the RMT to accept our pay offer.

"This multi-year offer is fair, affordable and provides certainty for our colleagues over pay for several years.

"We are engaging with all of our unions on this offer and look forward to their responses."

TfL also confirmed that no changes have been proposed to working hours as part of the pay agreement.
