Oldest Underground system in the world More passengers then ever before

o 16% rise in seven years; 40% in 15 years

o Over90 million journeys made during the four weeksbefore Christmas a new record

Running more service than ever before

o 70 million train km a year, 27% increase over 15 years

Rebuilding every part of the network one of greatestengineering challenges in the world

LU Performance

Customer satisfaction has increased from 76 points to80 points in five years (according to independent

customer satisfaction survey)

The impact that incidents have on customer journey

time has reduced by over 30% since 2007

Asset failures as the cause of incidents have declined

by 50% since 2003/04

Customer satisfaction and reliability

Underlying investment needs stillpresent, long term planning still

required

Metronet now integrated with LU;Tube Lines acquired by TfL in

June 2010

Future Investment and the PPP/PFI story

Amey continues to provide

management and maintenanceservice for Jubilee, Northern &Piccadilly lines

PPP benefits of benchmarking andperformance management

retained

Management energies now centredon efficient delivery rather than

PPP contract regime

The next decade . . .

Good result in Comprehensive Spending

Review.

Were in Commercial Public Sector Of our money, around half is farebox and half DfT grant

Have to recognise fiscal reality savings must be made

But must find a way to continue the transformationand avoid another cycle of deep decline Clear correlation between London transport infrastructure and service

improvements and economic growth

Strategy: do more for less Significant productivity improvements in capital and operational

expenditure.

Economically and environmentally sustainable future deep tube

Better Management of SupplyChain

Benchmarking

Two aspects cost and approach Costusing benchmarking to drive cost and challenge why,

why, why e.g. resignalling cost/track km, track cost/km, stationcost /per square metre.

Approach learning from the best and implementing on LondonUnderground e.g. resignalling with minimal closures,visualisation techniques, integrated programme teams

Summary

Upgrades driven by asset condition AND demand

Key to London and UK economy

Delivery record (milestones, budget scope) so farvery good across trains, infrastructure andsignalling but Jubilee line

Must increase and improve pace of delivery and

embed further capital and operating efficiencies
