Cash crisis could halt tube improvements

A DISAGREEMENT over cost could see tube trains becoming more crowded and improvements on London Underground abandoned, the London Assembly has said.
Transport for London (TfL) and Tube Lines, the maintenance firm for London Underground, cannot agree on the cost of upgrade work.
After maintenance firm Metronet collapsed in 2007, TfL began completing their projects, but about half the 150 refurbishment plans set to be finished by 2010 have been set back as late as 2017.
