Transport for LondonSafety
This is because of a continual focus on safety over the past 15 years.
London Underground helps more than three million people travel safely around the Capital every weekday and about the same number each weekend. This comes to nearly 1,000 million passenger journeys each year.
Operating the network involves a variety of risks. These need to be suitably controlled and reduced. These risks affect both passengers and those who operate and maintain the Underground.
Investing in safety
To improve the reliability, safety and capacity of the Underground, a programme of investment to transform the Tube is in progress.
As we deliver these major investment programmes we give high priority to all safety issues.
The Tube is so safe that the average passenger would have to travel an average of 300 hundred million tube journeys before being involved in a fatal accident.
