    The reliability of the Piccadilly line has been transformed and it is consistently 70% more reliable than in 2003
  • Northern line - 65% more reliable
    The Northern line, previously known as the “misery line” saw great improvements in 2008 and is now 65% more reliable than in 2003
  • Jubilee line - 17% extra capacity
    We added an extra car to every Jubilee line train at the end of 2005, adding 17% extra capacity
  • We have upgraded 94 of our stations. This programme has seen a threefold increase in the number of CCTV cameras on the stations, helping to make them safer for passengers. We have also introduced numerous passenger help points and information boards, repaired structural damage, increased seating and redecorated all of our stations.
