Our Asset Renewal Programme
£1 billion invested so far
The Metro Asset Renewal Programme started in 2010 when the Government initially allocated £350m for us to renew ageing pieces of our infrastructure.
Since then, the project has continued to secure Government support, and we’ve invested £1 billion over the past 15 years.
Upgrades across the system
Major improvements
There’s not much of the Metro network we haven’t worked on, including:
- 65km of track renewed or refurbished, making journeys smoother and helping us withstand more extreme weather conditions.
- 35 stations refurbished. They’re lighter, brighter, more accessible and improve our customer experience.
- 65km of overhead line has been replaced, reducing the risk of service disruptions.
- 500 new CCTV cameras, because we’re always watching out for our customers.
- 27 new escalators and 12 new lifts, because we’re committed to step free access and customer safety
- 63 bridges repaired and three completely replaced in major engineering schemes
- New help points and customer address system, to help us communicate with our customers better
