Our plans

Ours is one of the biggest capital investment programmes in transport anywhere in the world.

Over the 30 year contract, we will:

  • Upgrade the signalling on all three lines, bringing increases in capacity and reliability and reducing journey times.
    • The Jubilee line upgrade will be completed in 2009
    • The Northern line upgrade will be completed in 2011
    • The Piccadilly line upgrade will be completed in 2014
  • Upgrade all of our 100 stations, with an emphasis on improving security, information and the general environment for passengers. 97 will be upgraded by 2010.
  • Introduce a new fleet of trains on the Piccadilly line in 2014 and refurbish the fleet on the other two lines
  • Replace and refurbish hundreds of kilometres of track and numerous lifts and escalators
  • Improve the general travelling environment for passengers

In the first seven and a half years alone, we plan to spend over £4.5bn on our programme.
