THE train drivers' union Aslef has suspended the proposed four days of strike action across the South West Trains network, due to start on Monday, following talks on Wednesday.
Aslef suspended the strikes to allow its executive committee to consider three options put forward by management.
South West Trains will now run a normal service next week including through Andover on the main Exeter to Waterloo line.
The train drivers' union, Aslef said in a statement: "The industrial action planned for next week on South West Trains has been suspended following a formula agreed between negotiators for the company and ASLEF, the train drivers' union. "The draft agreement will be considered by the union's executive at its meeting in mid-April. "This will be followed by a referendum of ASLEF members in SWT to judge its acceptability. At that stage the action will be re-imposed or called off."
