The Four Lines Modernisation (4LM) is replacing decades-old signalling along the sub-surface lines with a Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system, allowing trains to run closer together.

The aim is not to create a perfectly laid out map, but to crystallise thinking about using ground heat sources and spark conversation about the options for that.

The rare and collectable London Underground coin, minted to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Tube, has been listed for sale on eBay for over 8,000.

Transport for London (TfL) deemed the Kneecap poster would 'likely cause widespread or serious offence to reasonable members of the public'.

London is making internet and signal blackouts on the tube a thing of the past. Over the past couple of years TfL has gradually been rolling out 4G and 5G coverage on the London Underground, with key lines now boasting sections with high-speed internet coverage.

Paul Kohler, the local MP, stated, "This is an international embarrassment. This is one of the jewels in the crown of British sport and people can't even get to the championships on time because the train won't get them there."

This summer, the Victoria Line is predicted to reach a maximum temperature of 32C, solidifying its status as London’s hottest underground service for summer 2024.

A man is in hospital after a casualty was reported on the tracks at Piccadilly Circus station. Police were called to the Underground station just before 2pm today.

The London Transport Museum is offering a chance to ride a restored 1938 art deco Underground train from July 11 to July 13.

Next month, a restored 1930s Art Deco tube train will return to the London Underground, offering rides along the Piccadilly Line.

The power outage caused significant disruption on the Bakerloo line and resulted in severe delays on the Jubilee, Northern, and Elizabeth lines, stranding some commuters.

The Inner Circle was originally part of a fierce rivalry between the Metropolitan and District Railways, culminating in the completion of the line in 1884 after government intervention.

Londoners have a unique set of social expectations on the Underground, and crossing these lines—like stopping at the top of escalators—can lead to extreme embarrassment.

This weekend, essential maintenance work will disrupt several stations on the London Underground, Overground, and Elizabeth Line, emphasizing the need for passengers to plan ahead.

The busiest time on the Northern line is between 8am and 8.30am, particularly on Thursdays when most London workers commute rather than work from home.
