The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union has confirmed a three-year pay agreement for London Tube workers, which includes “fatigue-friendly” rosters, further discussions on staff travel, and a “consistent” Boxing Day payment of £400.

The deal provides a 3.4% pay increase from 1 April 2025, followed by guaranteed rises of 3% in year two and 2.5% in year three. The agreement comes after five days of Tube strikes in September that caused widespread disruption across London, and removes the immediate threat of further industrial action.

RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said: “This deal is a clear demonstration of the effectiveness of strike action and strong negotiation by our members.”

A Transport for London (TfL) spokesperson welcomed the agreement, saying: “We welcome the decision from the RMT to accept our pay offer. This multi-year offer is fair, affordable and provides certainty for our colleagues over pay for several years. We are engaging with all of our unions on this offer and look forward to their responses.”

TfL confirmed that no changes to working hours are included as part of the pay deal.
