Full description from the producer:

For the first time in its history London Underground has opened its doors to television to record the day-to-day life of its 16,500 staff who work across a network of 275 stations and 507 trains running on over 300 miles of track. Every year more than one billion people use The Tube that s 3 million journeys a day; commuters, holiday-makers, day-trippers, businessmen and women, students, overseas visitors. This series goes behind the scenes to tell the story of some of the dedicated and colourful characters who work for LU, doing a difficult job under often challenging and stressful circumstances. And in so doing we discover many surprising things about the complexities of running an over-stretched, under-funded and creaking network – the oldest and yet safest underground in the world.
