Thank you for your request received on 30 January 2019 asking for information about London Underground track replacement expenditure.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require.

Please find the requested updated information attached.

We have been investing significantly in our asset base, with more robust track assets being installed to recover asset condition and improve reliability following a long period of underinvestment in the 1990s. We have continued to drive efficiency by managing our costs, risks and delivery methodology. Following the announcement of a new track delivery partner last week, we have adjusted plans for the coming financial year. We are confident that this plan is deliverable in order to maintain our track, and will offer opportunities to use innovation and improved methods in order to further drive down costs while ensuring a high level of safety and reliability.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please feel free to contact me.
