National rail strikes are still expected to take place on Saturday 29 July even though Tube action has been called off.
The industrial action will affect services such as Chiltern Railways, Great Western Railway, TransPennine Express and the West Midlands Railway.
In addition, ASLEF workers are also taking “action short of a strike” by refusing to work any overtime between Monday 31 July and Saturday 5 August.
While the ASLEF strikes won’t bring any rail services to a complete standstill, similar lines to those affected by the RMT strikes will be operating with reduced timetables.
London Underground workers meanwhile will not strike this week following positive talks between Transport for London and the RMT union.
Rail workers were assured of protection on their earnings, no changes to pension schemes over the next three years and the pausing of “productivity proposals”.
Workers were also told there would not be any more job cuts and that they wouldn’t be asked to work any additional hours.
Mick Lynch, RMT’s general secretary pointed out this was only the beginning of coming to an agreement and said there is still lots of work to be done.
In a statement, he added: “We will continue to negotiate in good faith as we always have done with TfL and it was only the steadfast commitment of our members in being prepared to take sustained strike action that has forced the employer to make significant concessions.”
Lynch noted that the union still has a strike mandate until October and warned workers were prepared to use it if necessary.
