Our Projects

London doesn't stop growing, and nor do we. We're running projects all over the capital, investing in London's future and building a transport network that's fit for the 21st century.

Projects

Oyster Card
One of the world’s largest electronic ticketing projects now accounts for 80% of all TfL journey payments. So whether you’re travelling from Wandsworth to Wapping, the world really is your Oyster.
Mandela Way Bus Depot
In 2010 we’ll introduce 10 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses to London’s streets. Taking us one step closer to a greener capital, the vehicles’ only emission will be water.
Dalston Junction, East London line extension
Work is already underway on the massive project connecting North and South East London, and by 2011 the line will link Highbury and Islington to West Croydon.
Cable Street, London Cycle Network
We’ve already managed to get 83% more cyclists on London’s roads but we’re still working on it. By 2010 we’ll have 900km of safer, faster cycle routes across the capital.
Waterloo Station
During peak hours, Waterloo has 51,100 passengers through its doors, making it London’s busiest rush-hour station. It also boasts the most escalators – at 23.
Holland Road
The Western boundary of the Congestion Charge area starts here. The zone has reduced the number of vehicles in central London, reduced pollution and increased safety in the capital. And it’s helped raise vital funds for further transport developments.
Kings Cross St Pancras
The oldest and busiest Underground station in London has been transformed into an international rail hub, in a £774m regeneration project.
Step-free access
We’re aiming to increase access for our customers with restricted mobility. We’re gradually rolling out improvements to stations across London, like here at Canary Wharf.
Victoria Station
London’s busiest station boasts 76 million passengers a year, arriving on Tubes, trains, buses and coaches.
London Underground
The Tube carries an average three million passengers every day. The longest continuous tunnel is from East Finchley to Morden via Bank on the Northern line, taking in Tufnell Park along the way.
Brixton Town Centre
Improvements to the pedestrian, bus and local urban environment is helping to regenerate the entire area, and making transport through the town much easier.
Countdown
The electronic display system at bus stops is helping to revolutionise bus travel. Already in use at hundreds of stops, it takes the uncertainty out of waiting for a bus, whether you’re waiting in Peckham, Penge or Purley.
Docklands Light Railway
The DLR uses one of the world’s most advanced automatic train control systems, and has expanded faster than any other UK railway. It links central London to the East of the city, including its Southern most station here at Lewisham.
Olympics
In 2012 London will play host to the Olympic games, and we’re playing a vital role in ensuring the Capital is ready. Vast improvements in Stratford are already underway.
London Transport Museum
TfL is also responsible for running the London Transport Museum, in Covent Garden. In November 2007 it reopened after a two-year £22.4m redesign.
Transforming the Tube
We’re currently in the middle of the biggest transformation the Tube has seen in its 146-year history. Tracks, trains, signals and stations are all benefiting from an entire network rebuild. Paddington Station has already seen the benefits.
Waterloo & City Line
In 2006 the W&C Line was upgraded, which meant an extra 25% capacity plus a reduced journey time of 12%.
The Victoria Line
As the world’s first automatic railway the Victoria line is obviously first in line to be transformed. The work will make it faster, more reliable, and increase capacity. And all the stations along the line will benefit too, like here at Stockwell.
Cooling the Tube
The challenge of removing heat from the Tube is being tackled in many different ways. We’ve already installed chiller units here at Euston and Oxford Circus.
Highbury and Islington
The station and surrounding area at Highbury Corner is about to undergo a make over. The new scheme will make changing transport more easy, quick and safe, and will give passengers more open space around the station.
White City
The White City project involves new and revitalised transport links surrounding the Westfield London retail and leisure development. It has brought jobs and regeneration to the area benefiting the local community.
Finsbury Park
Plans are underway to make significant changes to Finsbury Park, making it safer, more secure and more pleasant. The changes will include step-free access, better routes to the platforms, new ticketing hall, and a modernised station.
Shepherds Bush
Major redevelopment has just been completed at Shepherds Bush Underground Station. It includes a spacious new ticket hall, new escalators and a brand new look and design. Now completed.
Woolwich Arsenal
January 2009 saw the opening of the DLR station here ahead of schedule and budget providing another vital north-south link across the capital. Boris Johnson, Mayor of London said “The extension will play an important role in the Olympic transport network. People in this part of London will now be just a 24-minute hop, skip and a jump away from the Olympic site."
Dagenham Dock
North of the River we’re planning on adding five new stations on the DLR route, extending from Gallions Reach to Dagenham Dock. It’ll mean better and faster transport links to East London.
Camden Town
Plans are currently being developed for a redevelopment for the entire Camden Town Station area – both below and above ground. The works will reduce congestion at the station and ensure it’s capable of meeting the demands of being one of the Northern Line’s key interchange stations.
Art on the Underground
LU have been commissioning art and design since 1908, but in 2000 Art on the Underground began working with artists to produce a varied array of new artworks to enrich the journeys of all LU passengers. Work ranges from Tube map cover artworks, reaching 15 million customers a year, to year-long, station-sized exhibitions in stations like Gloucester Road.
Greenwich Waterfront Transit
Due to start in autumn 2011, the Greenwich bus way transit service will use bus lanes to connect passengers with the Tube, bus services, DLR and National Rail, 24 hours a day.
55 Broadway
London Underground’s headquarters (above St James’s Park Station) is home to some of the most important British public sculptures of the 20th century, by artists including Jacob Epstein, Eric Gill and Henry Moore.
Gants Hill
We are currently developing a detailed design for improvements to the centre of Gants Hill. With new trees and plants, better paving and landscaping, safer street crossings, and new roundabout signalling, it will mean that people who live, work and travel in the area will enjoy many benefits.
Crossrail
A massively exciting project that will link the furthermost boundaries of East and West London. Running from Heathrow and Maidenhead to Shenfield and Abbey Wood the line will provide quick, regular access through central London stations, such as here at Bond Street.
Tottenham Court Road
A brand new Underground station is promised for TCR. There’ll also be improvements to cycle and bus lanes, wider pavements and a new public piazza.
River Thames services
We’re responsible for licensing London’s eight piers and all chartered and scheduled passenger services. Around 2.3 million journeys are made on the Thames every year.
