The 24-hour Night Tube service looks set to be resurrected as Britain's largest rail union has 'overwhelmingly' accepted a new pay and conditions deal.

On Tuesday (March 1) RMT announced that its members had voted in favour of a pay and conditions deal for the 24-hour service.

The night service was initially due to start in September 2015, but opposition from unions pushed the launch back and was subsequently put on hold.

An RMT spokesman told getwestlondon that members overwhelmingly voted to accept the pay and conditions deal for the Night Tube.

The ballot reportedly recorded a vote of 84% in favour.

General secretary Mick Cash said: “I want to pay tribute to RMT’s members across London Underground who have stood rock solid throughout the long campaign of industrial pressure to secure a fair deal from the company over pay and night tube operation.

“Those members have now voted to accept the most recent offer from the company, an offer that was only made after the hard work by union reps in the negotiations backed up by the loyalty, determination and militancy of the workforce right across the tube network.”

The union announced last month that it will start balloting its staff over the new Night Tube deal , which includes a four-year pay rise and a £500 bonus to drivers and other staff.

The Night Tube service will operate on five lines in the capital – Piccadilly, Northern, Jubilee, Central and Victoria – on Fridays and Saturdays.

Steve Griffiths, Chief Operating Officer at London Underground, said: “I’m pleased that RMT members have voted to accept our offer.

"This is a fair and affordable pay deal, which includes complete protection of employee work/life balance.

"We are seeking agreement with the other unions and continue to focus on the recruitment and training of part-time drivers to deliver the Night Tube for London as quickly as possible.”

Another union, Aslef, are currently voting on the offer with the result expected on March 7, while TSSA and Unite have not yet put the offer to their members.
