TfL said there was no deadline for the talks, and that its negotiators would stay until a resolution was found. 'Little progress'
The network saw major disruption during the walkout on 4 February. John Leach from the RMT union said he thought the chances of the strike being called off were "quite slim".
The strike took place over plans to close all Tube ticket offices and cut 960 jobs. Wayne Geoghegan from the TSSA union said: "The company is moving, in my view, extremely slowly and we're making little progress."
On Sunday, RMT leader Bob Crow apologised to London commuters over last week's industrial action but said a second strike was on for Tuesday. London Underground's managing director, Mike Brown said: "I urge the leaders of the RMT and TSSA to work with us to help shape the future of the Tube.
Mr Crow said LU had to "move its position" to avoid a second strike, claiming a lack of consultation on future Tube plans. "All that another unnecessary strike will achieve is to lose those who take part another two days' pay."
Transport for London (TfL) has said its proposals would save £50m a year. Talks are due to resume on Tuesday at 09:00.
TfL said there was a contingency plan in place for when strike action was confirmed. The network saw major disruption during the walkout from 4 February.
"London Underground have asked for frequent talks with the unions and they've managed to turn up for some meetings, so there has been consultation," said a TfL spokesman. Transport for London (TfL) has published a list of what services it hopes to run should the strike go ahead. Trains will run between 07:00 and 23:00, although services will start to wind down at 21:30.
A basic service will be in operation on all lines apart from the Waterloo and City Line, however trains will not stop at all stations.
Extra bus services will be in operation and the Overground, DLR and trams will run as normal.
