Members of the leading rail union have overwhelmingly accepted a pay and conditions deal for an all-night Tube service in London.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport union said there was an 84 per cent vote in favour, clearing another hurdle in the long running dispute over plans for a night Tube.


General secretary Mick Cash said: ‘I want to pay tribute to RMT’s members across London Underground who have stood rock solid throughout the long campaign of industrial pressure to secure a fair deal from the company over pay and night Tube operation.

‘Those members have now voted to accept the most recent offer from the company – an offer that was only made after the hard work by union reps in the negotiations backed up by the loyalty, determination and militancy of the workforce right across the Tube network.’

The service was due to start last September but was held up after a failure to reach a deal on pay and conditions.

Tube workers staged industrial action but, after months of talks, a new deal on pay and other issues was proposed.

Members of the drivers’ union Aslef are currently voting on the offer.
