Holiday works aid modernisation
The Easter programme of improvements and maintenance on London's road and public transport network was completed with thousands of staff and contractors working over the holiday break.
Hundreds of metres of track were replaced across the network which will improve reliability on the Tube and London Overground.
London Underground made the most of Easter to complete essential track improvements with more than 500 staff and contractors. They upgraded the points and crossings at Neasden and Harrow-on-the-Hill and replaced the track at Finchley Road.
On the roads, work continued on the new Cycle Superhighway North-South between Elephant and Castle and King's Cross - part of our £4billion Road Modernisation Plan - and resurfacing work was undertaken in Westminster around Parliament Square while there was less traffic.
The £320million upgrade programme for London Overground also continued with construction work at six stations which will prepare them for five-car trains.
Work at Whitechapel London Overground station and Custom House DLR station was also carried out in preparation for Crossrail.
