RMT members are to vote on a pay deal that could halt the union’s current wave of industrial action against train companies.
Operators have put forward an offer that proposes backdated pay rises for staff and job security guarantees.
RMT boss Mick Lynch said he supported the deal, calling it a “welcome development”.

A separate dispute with train drivers in the Aslef union also remains ongoing, so walkouts over Christmas could still be possible.
The RMT’s dispute with rail companies has been going on for nearly 18 months already, with workers calling for better job security, pay and conditions.
Last month members voted for a new six-month strike mandate, meaning the threat of action over Christmas and into spring.
After talks between the union and the Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents operators, a so-called memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been developed which sets out a mutually-agreed way forward.
The BBC understands the MOU involves a backdated pay rise for 2022 of 5%, or £1,750, and job security guarantees such as no compulsory redundancies until the end of 2024.
