Train drivers on the London Underground canceled two planned strikes after their union secured additional talks with Transport for London over scheduling and working-hour changes. Workers had argued that proposed reforms would worsen conditions and increase pressure on already strained transit staff. Although the strike was paused, union leaders emphasized that the labor dispute remains unresolved and could resume if negotiations break down again.
