London Underground staff at Brixton station are set to star in ITV London's fly-on-the-wall documentary series "The Tube".

The documentary series gives a glimpse behind the scenes of the UK's busiest transport network

Starring in the series will be Mandy Sahota, 26 and Aston French, 49, who are both control room assistants at Brixton, along with Jose Monteiro, 49, a station supervisor.

The episode charts the unexpected challenges and daily dramas they face every day on the Tube and how they affect its customers.

Over 28,000 commuters travel through Brixton tube station every weekday morning and viewers will be able to see what is involved in helping passengers get to their destinations safely, quickly and reliably - as well as what happens when things don't go to plan.

The documentary series gives a glimpse behind the scenes of the UK's busiest transport network and introduces us to some of the colourful characters that ensure that over 3 million people travel by tube across the capital each day.

Camera crews captured the highs and the lows on the system while filming over a period of six months.
