Arriva Trains Wales drivers call off Friday strike

A planned strike on Friday by drivers at Arriva Trains Wales has been called off following an improved pay offer.

The drivers' union Aslef said it would meet on Monday to decide whether to call off two planned further walkouts.

Aslef, which has about 500 Arriva Trains Wales members, had described the initial pay offer as "derisory."

The stoppage planned for Friday would have coincided with the Wales rugby international against Fiji at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
