| London Underground
London Underground passengers are seeing the biggest transformation
in the London Tube's history. The entire Tube network is being rebuilt,
starting from tracks to all trains, also including the signals to stations.
It will take some time to finish this world class network that our passengers
deserve - about 10 years as a matter of fact. There will be some disruption
as these works are carried out, but our passengers will be kept fully informed
about that.
