#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has confirmed that the Central Line Improvement Programme (CLIP) remains on time and within its £500 million budget, with completion scheduled for 2029. Responding to a freedom of information request, TfL disclosed that £266 million has been spent so far on design, preliminary tasks, resources and materials.

While the enquirer noted that few trains had been completed compared to published plans, TfL clarified that five refurbished trains are now in service. The innovative overhaul includes installing wheelchair bays, CCTV, new motors, electrical systems and refreshed seating to extend the ageing fleet's working life.

The remaining rollout timetable for the financial years between now and completion is structured as follows:
• 2026/27: 6 further trains
• 2027/28: 18 further trains
• 2028/29: 31 further trains
• 2029/30: 25 further trains

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:

#TfL confirmed it holds information relating to compensation payments connected to the Gallows Corner Works. The response addressed whether Costain had been instructed to pay any businesses compensation beyond the two known closures, Wax On and Gallows Corner Motors.

TfL said major works were completed in April 2026, while Essex & Suffolk Water continued repairs after identifying issues during testing of a new water main. Some roads have reopened, including the eastbound flyover, Straight Road and Main Road, while westbound restrictions remain until water works finish. TfL said coordinating the projects aimed to reduce future disruption and thanked residents and businesses for their patience.
