Planned strikes by train drivers on London's Elizabeth line on Thursday and Saturday have been called off following a new pay offer.

Members of Aslef were due to stage a series of walkouts that would have caused travel disruption in the capital.

Aslef said its executive would consider a revised offer from the line's operators MTR, on Wednesday.

Although the strikes planned for Thursday and Saturday have been suspended, no announcement has been made about further strikes days on 8 and 10 March.
