What is the Carbon Footprint of London Underground’s Signalling Systems? Could TfL reduce its Carbon Footprint by adopting particular types of signalling systems over others? How does the Jubilee & Northern Lines (TBTC) signalling carbon footprint compare to the new Four Lines Modernisation (4LM) signalling system (CBTC) deployed on the District, Circle, H&C, Metropolitan Lines?
Join Aditya Gurtu (Senior Engineer, TfL) who will tell us more about this industry-ground breaking work modelling & comparing the carbon footprints of TfL’s signalling systems, how it was done, and how TfL can potentially save thousands of tonnes of Carbon!
