London Underground sets out Jubilee plans
Following the takeover of Tube Lines, London Underground have now signalled a new way forward for the Jubilee Line upgrades.
Mike Brown, managing director said: “It is now clear that we inherited from Tube Lines a Jubilee line upgrade programme which was badly behind schedule.
“When complete it will mean great improvements for passengers – with capacity boosted and journey times reduced, and we are now taking a major step forward by using the new signalling for the first time in passenger service.
“I would like to apologise to passengers, communities, and businesses who have suffered years of closures. Although there is only a slim chance of completion by the end of the year, we are doing everything possible to get the job done as soon as possible, whilst keeping disruption to an absolute minimum.
“Having taken control of Tube Lines we will ensure that the disruption caused by the Jubilee line upgrade is not repeated during the transformation of the Northern line.”
