Railway workers have called off a planned strike on the Heathrow Express on Monday, saying they will meet next week to decide their next steps.

Workers from the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union had planned a 24-hour industrial action in a dispute over pay and conditions.

The employees, who act as train drivers and station staff, already had staged a one-day strike on Thursday.

The train service runs from London's Paddington Station to Heathrow Airport.
