The talks turned “constructive” a day after the three unions announced they would hold two 24-hour-long strikes on “optimistic” it could broker a deal with management over Night Tube driver rosters after arguing the work plans would have a detrimental impact on the work/life balance of its members.
Aslef, the union which represents the majority of the Tube drivers, is not taking part in the strikes, so there is a small likelihood London Underground could still run a limited service.
If it goes ahead, the strike action next week could threaten the Night Tube start date.
The first strikes brought sections of London to a standstill and cost businesses hundreds of millions of pounds.
Mick Lynch, RMT assistant general secretary, confirmed the “outcome of many hours of intensive negotiations” will be decided on Monday.
Tube services on Wednesday and Friday could be seriously affected due to a knock on effect from the walkouts.
City Cruises services are often touted as an alternative to London Underground services during industrial action.

In the FGW dispute, union boss Mick Cash said: “Despite strenuous efforts by our negotiators we have not been able to secure the kind of progress required in the key areas of jobs, services and safety for us to reach agreement”.
