Encyclopedia > Tube Lines

Under the 30-year PPP, Tube Lines is responsible for the maintenance, renewal and upgrade of the Underground infrastructure on the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines, including track, trains, signals, civil work and stations.


Reversing the effects of decades of under-investment in the tube is a huge task requiring an injection of resources on the scale of which the Underground has never seen before. Tube Lines is involved in a massive improvement programme, tripling investment and committing over £4,400 million to improve the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines over the next 7.5 years - the equivalent of spending almost £1.6 million per day.
