The Tube: Keeping London Moving

The Tube: Keeping London Moving (2024- )

RunningDocumentary show

Transport For London runs the tube network, buses and also the capital's taxis. We go deep behind the scenes inside the tube network, one of the world's busiest public transportation systems, and the rest of TFL.

So how do you keep millions of people moving around England's capital city every day, both underground, and on the streets above? Following the 30,000 staff on the frontline and behind the scenes, we reveal how they keep the system going - from the daily challenge to avoid overcrowding, to solving engineering meltdowns, from crime on the network to medical and operational emergencies.

With unique access to TFL's Control Centre, down to the platforms and behind the closed doors, for the first time this is how the tube and the capital's transport system keeps people moving day in day out.

Episode 6

London is home to 13 professional football clubs and managing the flow of fans on every match day is a huge logistical challenge, particularly on the one day of the year when the season's final Premier League matches kick off simultaneously. This year the challenge is even greater because tens of thousands of cyclists are descending on the capital for the annual Ride London event, and eight miles of city centre roads are now closed to traffic.

Adding to that, numerous train cancellations due to engineering works and delays caused by track-side incidents add pinch-points and are stretching a system that is on the verge of being seriously overcrowded at any moment. For staff at south-west and south-east London stations exuberant and rowdy supporters bring back bad memories of serious misbehaviour, including staff being pushed off platforms and on to rail-tracks. Will this be another bad year for staff on TfL's front-line?

Altogether less abrasive, but just as excitable, is the experience of DLR staff at Pudding Mill Lane. Here the chances of over-exuberant passengers is guaranteed. But these are voracious ABBA fans going to see a show by the eponymous Swedish pop gods' avatars, delivering their greatest hits, so station staff are more likely to be leading a sing-song than stopping a ding-dong.
