Managers at an East Midlands bus firm say a deal over pay has been agreed with their unions after months of negotiation. Trent Buses faced a series of one-day strikes in the weeks leading up to Christmas last year.
Travellers in Derby, Leicester and Nottingham were affected.
A statement from Trent Buses released on Thursday said union representatives are recommending a deal to their members.
The conditions of the deal were not disclosed, but a pay offer was rejected just three days ago.
A Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU) spokesman said meetings were continuing.
