#British Transport Police (BTP) is trialling live facial recognition (LFR) at selected #Transport for #London (TfL) stations to help identify people wanted for serious and high-harm offences, including sexual offences, robbery and knife crime.
The four-month trial, supported by #TfL, will use intelligence and crime data to select stations where the technology could have the greatest impact. LFR will only alert officers to people on an authorised BTP watchlist, while images of people who are not matches will be immediately deleted.
The first deployment will take place at Victoria #Underground station on Tuesday 11 August. The trial will operate in clearly signed areas and include safeguards, oversight and compliance with privacy, data protection, equality and human rights requirements.
TfL said the trial supports wider efforts to tackle violence against women and girls, prevent crime and improve safety across the transport network.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has confirmed that no decision has yet been made on whether to exercise the Siemens contract option for new Bakerloo line trains before 1 November 2026. The information was withheld under Freedom of Information Act section 43(2) due to concerns it could affect ongoing commercial negotiations.
Further approvals for the Bakerloo line Upgrade programme are still required, with future delivery dependent on funding settlements. TfL said the first new #trains are currently forecast to enter passenger service in 2032, although the order date remains unconfirmed. Full fleet introduction and increased services are expected by 2033/34.
The programme remains in development, with TfL refining scope, costs and schedules. It said the project is currently on track, with updates to be provided through its governance process.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has confirmed which current corporate head office buildings have air conditioning in response to a Freedom of Information request. It said several locations from an earlier accommodation list are no longer part of its property portfolio, operational sites or head office estate. Most occupied offices, including Ashfield House, Palestra, Endeavour Square and Premier House, are fully air conditioned. Some buildings have air conditioning only on selected floors or in certain areas, while others rely on natural ventilation and radiators, with temporary air conditioning provided during periods of hot weather. Some sites have no air conditioning, although TfL said several of these are not currently used by staff.

"Upholding complaints about the posters, the ASA said the grey and ashen appearance of the female’s skin, the dry and cracked lips and mouth, one eye swollen shut and the other fixed and vacant, together with the sunken and lifeless appearance of the face, gave a “realistic impression of a dead child”.
So, is this a remake of the Brendon Fraser romp or something more Horror?

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL said it does not hold heat alert guidance issued directly to bus drivers, as this is provided by individual bus operators. However, documents for operational staff show measures introduced during Amber and Red #UKHSA heat alerts in summer 2026. Amber alerts allowed extended driver comfort breaks with relaxed mileage penalties, alongside reminders on hydration, cold drinks, sun safety, relaxed uniforms and maintaining air conditioning. During Red alerts, TfL excluded performance data to prioritise driver welfare and allowed trip refusals because of excessively hot cabs under specific coding rules. Operators were instructed to check the UKHSA Heat-Health Alert dashboard daily for audit purposes, while mechanical air conditioning failures remained subject to standard maintenance procedures.

#TfL has published the latest special variants of the July 2026 Tube map. TfL confirmed it holds some of the requested information and released the available versions in an attached folder. It said new editions have not been produced for the Few Fare Machine, SVG and Walking Between Stations on the Same Line maps because they are no longer required. TfL also said updating the Central London Tube maps used on London Overground, the Elizabeth line and London Transport #Museum merchandise is considered on a case-by-case basis, as reprinting the full range is costly and requires balancing up-to-date information with budget constraints.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has confirmed that 52 air-conditioning defect work orders were raised on Bakerloo line 1972 stock between 1 April and 8 July 2026, affecting 34 individual units. Three trains were temporarily unavailable for service due to cab air-conditioning faults, while nine service-affecting failures resulted in train withdrawals.
TfL stated that the Bakerloo line cabs use air-conditioning systems rather than separate air-cooling units. Reported faults involved units including 3231, 3233, 3237 and others across the fleet.
Maintenance included investigations, refrigerant recharging, electrical resets, component replacements, drain cleaning and filter changes. Some reported faults were not replicated during testing, with systems found operating effectively after checks.

The way that Televic formatted some of the DLR visual announcements is genuinely strange has hell. I'm currently on DLR Unit 145A/B, and the Cutty Sark announcement on screen reads "Train is for Lewisham, next stop is Cutty Sark, to alight move towards the centre of the train". Two commas is two commas too many! -

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has published updated London #Underground fleet reliability and performance figures, covering 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2026. The data reflects a revised Fleet Mean Distance Between Failures (MDBF) methodology, now excluding "No OK Stock" incidents. TfL also reissued MDBF figures back to 2018-19 using the updated method. Network-wide delays of five minutes or more per 1,000km improved overall between 2022-23 and 2024-25 before rising slightly in 2025-26. Bakerloo, Northern, Jubilee and Piccadilly recorded some of the strongest improvements, while Victoria continued to record among the highest delay rates. TfL noted that a cyber incident left operational data unavailable for part of 2024-25, with early 2025-26 data also excluded because of incomplete datasets.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has released further details on the withdrawal and disposal of selected Piccadilly line 1973 Tube Stock units following a Freedom of Information request. Records show several trains were transferred from Northfields depot to Manor Road, Erith, between May 2025 and February 2026 before being scrapped in 2025 or 2026. Units 251 and 651 were moved from Cockfosters in February 2026. Older vehicles, including unit 314, were removed from Acton in the 1990s, although the destination and scrapping date were not recorded. TfL said some requested information, including exact dates and records for several units, is unavailable because some disposals took place before TfL was created or were not retained.

TfL said it holds some of the requested information but does not hold drawings for the B92 fleet. The B2007 technical schematic, produced by Bombardier, details the exterior livery layout, dimensions and paint specifications, including RAL colour codes, door finishes and compliance with BS6853 Category 1b standards. The B23 design concept includes a 3D exterior rendering with NCS and RAL colour specifications for the cab surround, bodyside panels, window band, end walls and other exterior features.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has released documents explaining why route 160 continues to run along Sandhurst Road, SE6. A 2024 review rejected a proposal to split routes 124, 160, 181 and 284 via Sangley Road, Sandhurst Road and Brownhill Road, concluding it would make the network less straightforward, reduce accessibility and leave around 7,700 residents with poorer connections. TfL said the current route keeps more homes within 400 metres of a bus service and is well used. Separate contract planning papers from 2020 and 2024 show no structural changes to route 160, although an extra peak-time bus was expected to improve reliability. The documents also include updates to routes 180 and 660 and specify the use of 10.9-metre double-deck buses.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has released data showing a typical daily London Underground electricity demand profile based on average Bulk Supply Point loading from 2018–2019, which it says remains representative after comparison with a smaller 2026 sample. Weekday demand peaks at 08:30, with a secondary peak at 17:30–18:00, while the lowest demand occurs around 03:00. Weekend demand peaks later at 17:30, with demand remaining relatively high through the afternoon before easing into the evening. TfL said the data averages out anomalies to provide a typical loading profile and that seasonal variation is limited to less than 10%, as electricity demand is largely driven by traction power for #trains.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
The Bakerloo Line Upgrade is a fully funded programme within TfL’s 2026–2030 Business Plan, although delivery plans remain subject to further development. The scheme covers 23km and 25 stations, including new air-cooled trains to replace the 50-year-old fleet, depot upgrades at Stonebridge Park, track and power improvements, expanded stabling, #accessibility enhancements, platform works, CCTV upgrades and a new drivers’ training facility. #TfL plans to use an outcome-focused delivery model with integrated partners, shared risk and transparent cost arrangements, while Network Rail and the rolling stock supplier will be managed separately. Indicative procurement milestones begin with a tender notice in summer 2026, followed by pre-qualification, tendering, negotiations in spring 2027 and a target contract award in summer 2027.

#Transport for #London Have Your Say:
#TfL is consulting on plans to improve the reliability of bus route 42 by shortening it to run between East Dulwich Sainsbury's and Tooley Street, instead of Liverpool Street. Passengers travelling beyond Tower Bridge would change to route 78 using the same stops. Early morning and evening frequencies on route 42 would improve, while two additional early morning route 78 journeys are proposed to cover a service gap. TfL says route 42 is one of London's least reliable routes because of congestion and Tower Bridge openings, with passenger numbers falling from about 9,600 in 2019 to around 6,900 in 2026. An Equality Impact Assessment says some passengers, including older people and those with additional needs, may be affected by the need to change buses. The consultation closes on 20 September 2026.

#Transport for #London Have Your Say:
#TfL is consulting on plans to withdraw bus route 67 and restructure route 149. Under the proposals, route 149 would run between Wood Green and London Bridge instead of Edmonton Green, following the current route 67 between Wood Green and Stamford Hill. The changes aim to reduce underused services, simplify the network and better match bus capacity with demand. New direct links would be created between Wood Green, St Ann’s Road, Shoreditch, Liverpool Street and London Bridge, while routes 243 and 279 would retain key connections. Some passengers, including those travelling between Edmonton Green and London Bridge, would need to change buses. The night service would continue between Edmonton Green and London Bridge as route N149. The consultation closes on 20 September 2026.
