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.
TubeLines Limited is a private company, responsible for the maintenance, renewal and upgrade of the infrastructure, including track, trains, signals, civil work and stations, on three London Underground lines.
TubeLines is responsible for over 200 miles of track, 255 trains, 100 stations, and over 2,500 bridges, lifts and escalators spread across these three lines.

The length of the transmission line or device may be a multiple or a fraction of a wave length, e.g., 1/4, 1/2, etc.., or otherwise have its length proportioned to the wave length of the energy with which it is to be used.
A long line element may be a part of a long line wave transmission device or used in a network with other circuit elements of the lumped parameter type, for example, as in the case of delay networks, impedance matching networks, wave filters.
The wave guide may be a hollow dielectric or metal tube, or a solid dielectric rod, the wave energy being propagated along the interior of the tube or rod and confined by the walls of the tube or rod.
