King's Cross tube station gets brighter
Briefly

Transport for London has recently completed an upgrade of the lighting at King's Cross tube station, replacing older systems with more efficient LED lights that provide brighter illumination and significant energy savings. This move is part of a larger initiative, with over 40% of London tube stations already converted to LED, and plans to complete further upgrades by the early 2030s. The implementation of LED lighting not only reduces energy consumption, saving 1400 MWh annually, but also minimizes maintenance costs due to the longevity of LEDs compared to traditional lighting systems.
Transport for London has recently upgraded King's Cross tube station's lighting to LED, enhancing brightness while achieving significant energy savings and reducing operational costs.
The lighting conversion is part of TfL's broader aim to completely upgrade all tube stations to LED by the early 2030s, improving energy efficiency across the network.
More than 40 percent of tube stations have already transitioned to LED lights, contributing to energy savings equivalent to powering 500 homes annually.
TfL is also implementing smart technology and low-carbon solutions at depots, aiming for significant reductions in energy use and improved working conditions for staff.
