The move comes after the union received a revised pay proposal from management at Rail for London Infrastructure (RfLI) and will now consult members about the way forward.

In January, the dispute saw a one-day stoppage by dozens of TSSA members working on the rail line after it emerged some Elizabeth Line staff were paid thousands of pounds less than colleagues performing similar roles on other parts of the Transport for London (TfL) network.
