REMAINING London bus strikes have been suspended following an offer for improved pay for drivers.
The next strike, due to take place today (April 26), has been cancelled.
Later planned strike action has been suspended while details of the revised offer can be finalised.
If no deal can be agreed, strike action scheduled for Friday May 6 and Saturday May 7 will go ahead as planned.
Bus drivers employed by London United, a subsidiary of French company RATP, based at seven depots in West and South London have been involved in a series of strikes in a dispute over pay.
Once the new offer is finalised members of the Unite union, who have been involved in the industrial action, will be balloted on the proposed pay deal.
Unite regional officer Michelle Braveboy said: "The revised offer made by RATP is a positive development and therefore strike action has been suspended to finalise the deal.
"If the offer is agreed by members, future industrial action will be called off.
"From the very beginning of this dispute Unite has always been clear that these matters could and should be resolved through negotiation."
