London Underground 24-hour strike 'definitely on'
A 24-hour Tube strike will "definitely go ahead", a union has said.
The announcement comes after London Underground (LU) made an increased but "final" pay offer in a bid to avert the action from 21:30 BST on Wednesday.
Unions were given until 18:30 BST to accept the offer which includes a 2% rise this year and £2,000 for drivers on the new night Tube.
Finn Brennan, a senior negotiator for Aslef, said unions were not being given enough time to consider the proposals.
Almost 20,000 workers are due to take part in the industrial action.
Aslef, the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT), Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) and Unite have been in dispute over the pay offered for the new night Tube service, which is due to start at weekends from mid-September.
