London Underground: Signalling

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the Department for Transport has estimated any additional costs resulting from the recent cancellation by London Underground of the plan to re-signal the Circle, District and Metropolitan lines; and whether they consider there are likely to be delays in meeting the December 2018 deadline as a result of the cancellation.[HL4814]

Answer

Under devolution the Mayor of London and Transport for London (TfL) are

responsible for London Underground, including delivery of the Tube Upgrade programme and related cost estimates. TfL issued a Press Release on 31 December announcing that the signalling contract for the Circle, District, Hammersmith and City and Metropolitan lines would be re-let, and that the original delivery timetable of 2018 currently remains unchanged.
