The unions are demanding a pay rise of 6.3%

TfL says it is 'committed to finding a solution'

A TfL spokesperson said: "We are committed to finding a solution that is fair to both our staff and our customers. We are hopeful that we can reach an agreement with the unions that will avoid the need for strike action." The talks are expected to continue throughout the day and into the evening.
