Rail strikes hitting Watford services have been suspended after union bosses said they were promised a pay offer.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union had been due to stage 24-hour walkouts tomorow (November 5) and next Monday and Wednesday.
However, rail bosses have said passengers will still be left with "extremely limited" services tomorow due to "very late notice".

Services by London Northwestern Railway, Avanti West Coast, Chiltern Railways, Thameslink, Southern, London Overground, and London Underground were among those impacted.
The RMT said it has secured “unconditional” talks on Network Rail and the promise of a pay offer from the train operating companies.
The union added the dispute remains “very much live” and it is continuing its re-ballot of members to secure a fresh mandate for action with the result due on November 15.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “The threat of strike action and our strongly supported industrial campaign has made the rail employers see sense.
“We have always wanted to secure a negotiated settlement and that is what we will continue to push for in this next phase of intensive talks.
“Our priority is our members, and we are working towards securing a deal on job security, a decent pay rise and good working conditions.
“Our re-ballot remains live and if we have to take strike action during the next six months to secure a deal, we will.”
Network Rail’s chief negotiator Tim Shoveller said: “It’s welcome news that the RMT has called off its strikes but the very late notice means that services for tomorrow cannot be reinstated and will remain extremely limited.
"While we, and our train company partners, will work without pause over the weekend, there will be limited ability to change the ‘strike timetable’ for Monday.
“Our advice remains to please check before you travel and on Saturday and Monday and only travel by rail if absolutely necessary.
“We look forward to getting back round the table with all our trades unions early next week to see if the progress made this week can be built on, and a resolution found.”
