LNER strike threat lifted following ASLEF agreement

A series of weekend strikes which had been called by ASLEF on LNER has been suspended after a resolution was reported by the union. LNER had already published a reduced timetable for this weekend but said it would now see how it could strengthen its service. The operator said the latest talks with ASLEF had been ‘constructive’ and that it was pleased the strikes had been suspended.
