Talks aimed at averting a new round of Tube strikes are to go ahead, it was reported today.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) said talks had been arranged with conciliation service ACAS tomorrow with officials from TfL ahead of the strikes which are due to start at 9pm.

RMT workers are due to walk out from 9pm on Monday April 28 for two days, and for another three days from 9pm on Monday May 5.

The planned strikes are part of a long-running protest against ticket office closures and modernisations that the union claims will cost jobs, undermine services and jeopardise safety.
