Last-ditch talks to try to avert a three-day strike by Tube workers in London will be held later.
London Underground and Rail, Maritime and Transport union representatives will meet hours before the walkout is due to start at 21:00 BST.
Conciliation service Acas called Monday's talks in the dispute over LU's plan to close all ticket offices and cut 960 jobs.
A 48-hour strike last week caused considerable transport disruption.
The last set of talks broke down on Friday after apparently being close to a deal. The union said LU had then demanded the whole dispute rather than just the strike be called off, while LU accused the union of failing to offer a "credible alternative" to its proposals.
Transport for London needs to save £4.2bn by 2020, and hopes to save £50m a year by closing ticket offices and cutting jobs.
The plans are thought not to include any compulsory redundancies.
In a statement on Sunday, Acas confirmed that it had invited the chief operating officer of London Underground and the acting general secretary of RMT to attend a meeting at its offices on Monday morning, and both accepted the invitation.
The two sides have met more than 40 times through Acas since a strike back in February.
