Train strikes: Series of walkouts from Saturday suspended
A series of strikes by railway workers planned for 5, 7 and 9 November has been suspended, the RMT union has said.
But Network Rail warned that the late notice meant services on Saturday would remain "extremely limited", and trains on Monday are likely to be affected.
The RMT, which represents rail workers, said it would now enter "a period of intensive negotiations" with Network Rail and train operating companies.
The strikes had been called in a dispute over pay and conditions.
