They are credited with bringing creative inspiration to millions every day - a simple idea that has been copied in cities across the world. In 1986 the first Poems on the Underground appeared in Tube carriages, and both commuters and visitors to London have been pondering their meaning ever since. Transport for London will be marking the 40th anniversary of this "art for all" project with new works, poetry readings and displays of poems at London Underground stations.

Khan said during his 2021 mayoral election campaign that he would order Transport for London (TfL) to extend a ban on junk food ads to cover online casinos and bookmakers as well, citing the devastating impact of addiction. Yet the mayor's office has yet to make good on the manifesto promise, blaming a lack of guidance from central government on the links between gambling adverts and harm. In the meantime, the number of gambling ads has increased, including a campaign for the online casino 888 that had to be withdrawn amid an outcry about its flippant tone.

The reassurance comes courtesy of a Freedom of Information request asking TfL to disclose "any reports of alien and/or extra-terrestrial activity at Tube, DLR, London Overground, Elizabeth Line and Tram locations" between January 2020 and November 2025. After checking their records, TfL replied with a refreshingly straightforward answer: they do, in fact, hold the information - but that none of it involves little green men, flying saucers, or intergalactic commuters tapping in with a futuristic multipass.

Although only three bus stops have been put out of action, passengers are now having to go on a 2.5mile (4km) diversion - much to their frustration. The 274 bus, which travels between Islington and Lancaster Gate, is currently going through Camden - including past another set of roadworks - to avoid engineering works at Euston Tower. Transport for London has apologised for the disruption.17 minutes ago

Thalha Jubair 19, from East London, and Owen Flowers, 18, from Walsall in the West Midlands spoke only to confirm their names and enter pleas at the brief hearing.

In addition, Mr Flowers is accused of attempting to hack computer systems belonging to California-based Sutter Health and another US company, SSM Healthcare Corporation.

Pedestrians are forced to sprint past it for fear of a tidal wave from passing taxis; elderly people have been known to test the amphibious capabilities of mobility scooters; and passengers in a rush have to choose between wet socks or missing their train. Stretching several metres between Upper Woburn Place and Gower Street, the pool on the busy road in Camden has earned local notoriety for stubbornly reappearing following rainfall and evading highways workers' efforts to drain it.

Data revealed by a Freedom of Information (FOI) request shows that just three fines worth 705 in total have been issued. The Liberal Democrats urged TfL to bring in "real consequences" to those breaking its byelaws on nuisance noise while Reform UK called it a "dire record of enforcement". TfL said the "vast majority of our customers are considerate" and that "enforcement is a last resort".

Stations and depots across the London transport network have been transformed with gardens as part of an annual Transport for London (TfL) contest. The In Bloom competition, which started in 1910, sees TfL staff decorate stations and depots with flowers, fruits, vegetables and plants. To celebrate TfL's silver jubilee, the new Best Theme award was introduced, won by Highbury & Islington station. South Tottenham station won the top prize, the Best in Show award, as well as the Best Cultivated Garden.

I was shocked and angry about the children's reaction but the adults' reactions are what broke me and brought me to tears.

They are the scourge of the modern commute: passengers who play music or videos out loud. But amid widespread disapproval from fellow travellers, Transport for London (TfL) is trying to appeal to the better nature of headphone dodgers by asking them to be considerate and plug in. The new posters, which will start to appear on the Elizabeth line this week and on other TfL services, including London buses, in the autumn remind travellers to use headphones when listening to music or making calls.

The 60+ Oyster card resulted in Transport for London facing an estimated £84 million in lost revenue for the financial year 2023/24. This represented a significant increase from previous years, with losses of £71 million and £51 million.

"The new fleet, which has cost an estimated 942 million, was ordered to replace 33 of the oldest existing trains on the DLR network, some of which are over 30 years old."
