Last month tube unions rejected an earlier offer which the RMT union said failed to reflect “the fact that LU is carrying record numbers of passengers, charging inflation-busting fares, cutting staff and thus increasing productivity by the back door.”

Parry added: “At the same time it is realistic given the current economic situation and the pressure on TfL’s finances.”
A spokesman for the RMT said the latest offer would be “considered in due course through the usual machinery”
