Tube Lines
London – we think it’s the greatest city in the world, and it deserves a transport system to match. At Tube Lines, we’re committed to delivering nothing less. In partnership with London Underground, we’re transforming the world’s oldest and largest metro system into a railway for the 21st century – focusing on the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly Lines – to improve the daily lives of millions.
We’re delivering a £5.4 billion programme to improve these Lines, the largest improvement project the Tube has ever seen. To do this, we need talented people. That’s why we’re equally passionate about making Tube Lines a great place to work. Your journey starts here.
We maintain, renew and upgrade over 320km of track, 254 points and crossings, 255 trains, 100 stations, 4,314 bridges and structures, 80km of embankments and cuttings, 231 escalators and 110 lifts. It’s a massive 41% of the entire Tube network. And it’s a huge responsibility. With over 500 million passenger journeys made each year on our network, safety, reliability and high performance are key to what we do.
A snapshot of what we got up to last year alone includes:
- Renewing over 9.3km of track
- Completing seven major escalator refurbishments
- Overhauling fleet on the Northern line
- Introducing step-free access at Green Park and Heathrow stations
- Bringing Jubilee line maintenance in-house
And all that on top of completing the massive Jubilee line upgrade, which allowed us to launch a new timetable – 57 trains per hour during peak times instead of 51.
Most of our work takes place in the early hours, when the Tube trains stop running. To deliver our projects on time and within budget, we draw on an array of award- winning innovations and technologies. And of course an amazing team of people.
Our graduate programme is tailored to meet the needs of every graduate we hire. Whether you join us in an engineering, general management or project management area, you’ll complete a variety of placements which, together, will give you a valuable insight into our business. We have a 2,300 strong team of people ready to welcome you!
We’ve done a lot already – but there is more to be done, much more. If you’re passionate about making things happen for London, come and help us do it. Vist make your mark on london
