Tube Upgrade Plan
We're working to a very carefully worked-out plan to upgrade the Tube - so our closures don't happen randomly.
Left, the team behind the plan, and the necessary closures, explain how they work out what line to close, and when, to carry out improvements.
And they're vital improvements. If we don't act now, you won't have much of a Tube in the future.
It's disruptive, we know, but hopefully the video can help show that nothing's carried out without being planned well in advance.
What's happening on your line?
Find out how the work we're doing will make the Tube faster, more reliable and easier to use. And if you're travelling today, check live travel news to see if your journey's affected.
What's our plan?
The Tube is the oldest underground railway network in the world, and it's carrying more people than ever before. If we want it to continue working, a major upgrade is essential. It will take a while, but we're working to a plan that'll make your journey better.
We know you may have some questions about our upgrade plan, things like:
- When will it all be finished?
- Why do you have to disrupt my weekend travel?
- What's been done so far?
You can also find out about closures in advance
