Tube staff have been offered a three-year pay deal that could avert the threat of more strikes on the London Underground. The deal would provide a 3.4 per cent rise for the current financial year, followed by an amount equal to the RPI rate of interest for 2026/27 and 2027/28. This could mean that all 16,500 Tube staff see their wages rise by around 10 per cent over the three-year period.

In this modern world, we are almost always reachable. Thanks to smartphones, Londoners are just about constantly connected to the internet, making us available for WhatsApps, Slack messages and emails. The only times when we get to go (blissfully, for some) dark is when catching a flight, riding the tube, or, for some inexplicable reason, we're in Covent Garden. But that's all about to change.

Deb Dasgupta, Absolut Vodka's VP Global Marketing, said about the installation: 'Absolut has always believed that art should be open, joyful and for everyone. Keith Haring's work radiated that belief - full of energy, colour and hope. 'With Absolut Haring, we're inviting a new generation to celebrate that spirit in a public space - in an underground station that reflects and connects to the subways that inspired Haring more than forty years ago.'

They're the ones starting and stopping the train, watching for signals, keeping an eye on how the train is performing, and making sure it's safe to open and close the doors at each station. A tube driver's main job is to operate the train safely and make sure everything runs on time. That might sound simple, but there's a lot of focus and responsibility involved.

Even if you've been out of education for decades, there's a real back-to-school energy in the air. After several blissful months of heat waves, beer garden gatherings, al fresco dining and day festivals, the rainy days, earlier sunsets and colder nights have got us all ready for hibernation.

'What is this?' they simply asked, further explaining that they initially dismissed the artworks as advertisements. 'Then I noticed similar ones and started examining them out of aesthetic curiosity. That's when I realised they were part of a series,' they said. 'But the seemingly random red cross at the bottom threw me off: if it's a puzzle, it feels too simple for the effort and resources it must have taken to install; if it's art, then what's the message?'

According to TfL's response, once pressed, emergency buttons on Passenger Help Points (PHP) ring through to the station operations room. If not answered after a certain time the call will be routed through to the London Underground Control Centre. TfL is currently making improvements to the emergency service to ensure that all emergency buttons are routed through to the control centre when pressed so that the caller can receive immediate help.

The Four Lines Modernisation (4LM) is replacing decades-old signalling along the sub-surface lines with a Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system, allowing trains to run closer together.

The aim is not to create a perfectly laid out map, but to crystallise thinking about using ground heat sources and spark conversation about the options for that.

The rare and collectable London Underground coin, minted to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Tube, has been listed for sale on eBay for over 8,000.

Transport for London (TfL) deemed the Kneecap poster would 'likely cause widespread or serious offence to reasonable members of the public'.

London is making internet and signal blackouts on the tube a thing of the past. Over the past couple of years TfL has gradually been rolling out 4G and 5G coverage on the London Underground, with key lines now boasting sections with high-speed internet coverage.

On the day it opened, the first train, a six-car 1973 tube stock, arrived at the new terminus, driven by Instructor/Driver Danny Woodward and accompanied by the London Underground's Chief Operating Officer, Mr J Graeme Bruce.

Paul Kohler, the local MP, stated, "This is an international embarrassment. This is one of the jewels in the crown of British sport and people can't even get to the championships on time because the train won't get them there."

"Miraculously, I survived, but it cost me dearly the first train took my arm, and the second train took my leg... I lost my mobility, my independence, my dignity and, above all, my ability to hug my two young children with both arms."

This summer, the Victoria Line is predicted to reach a maximum temperature of 32C, solidifying its status as London’s hottest underground service for summer 2024.

A man is in hospital after a casualty was reported on the tracks at Piccadilly Circus station. Police were called to the Underground station just before 2pm today.

Next month, a restored 1930s Art Deco tube train will return to the London Underground, offering rides along the Piccadilly Line.

There will be fewer peak hour services operating on the Metropolitan line for the first week of June as the new signalling system is implemented.

The power outage caused significant disruption on the Bakerloo line and resulted in severe delays on the Jubilee, Northern, and Elizabeth lines, stranding some commuters.
