Tube strikes suspended this weekend

This is a bit of good news for my weekend getaway:

Long-running weekend strikes on London's Night Tube have been suspended after the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union accepted a concession from London Underground about rotas.

The bodies have agreed to have a minimum number of drivers who prefer to work overnight on each line.

The RMT stressed the dispute was not resolved, and the situation would be reviewed in three months at the latest.

Ongoing weekend strike action began in January and was planned until December.

The union said the industrial action had been taken to "prevent the ripping up of staffing arrangements that would wreck the work-life balance of drivers".

The strikes have affected the Central, Jubilee, Northern, and Victoria lines, two of which figure prominently in my plans this week as I'm staying in Holborn and spending time in Gospel Oak/Camden Town.
