Tottenham Court Road Station (TCRS) is a London Underground (LU) station situated in central London. The station serves as an interchange between the Central and Northern Lines.
Over 150,000 passengers use the station daily and with the completion of Crossrail in 2017, passenger numbers are expected to increase to over 200,000.
Improvements to the Tube station will provide: step-free access from street level to all platforms and interchanges via the enlarged and new ticket halls, additional access points to the Northern and Central Line platforms to reduce congestion, additional escalators serving the Northern Line and five new lifts, as well as future connections to the Tottenham Court Road Crossrail Station.

Four months after its celebrated inauguration that brought together the Prime Ministers of two countries and hundreds of cheering public, partial collapse of a highway tunnel in Albania has delayed the opening of the project to traffic.
By signing a promise into law, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger gave the green light to the Devil's Slide tunnel project Thursday, clearing the way for Caltrans to begin work on a project that has survived eight years of planning and negotiation.
"Hooray!" said County Supervisor Rich Gordon, summing up the feelings of those who have been working on the project for close to a decade or more. "The real celebration is when the ribbon is cut, but I'll take today's victory."
Six years in the proposing, a plan to build a 23-mile, partly private rail line in northern Virginia got its most significant boost June 10 when the state received the green light from the Federal Transit Administration to begin preliminary engineering. It then signed a contract with Bechtel Corp. and Washington Group International, the project’s joint venture champion. The line, which will connect an existing Washington, D.C., Metro subway line to Dulles International Airport, could cost as much as $4 billion. It is the first rail project pushed under Virginia’s decade-old public-private transportation law and could be a harbinger of how future transit jobs will be achieved as public funds shrink or face delays, observers say.

Preparations are beginning for a formal inquiry into the April 20 collapse of a Singapore mass-transit tunnel excavation in which four workers were killed.

Three groups have prequalified for the design-bid-build Beacon Hill underground section of the 14-mile, initial segment of Seattle's Sound Transit LRT.
Just a few months after opening its first light-rail line-a 1.6 mi (2.6 km) segment in Tacoma, Washington-Sound Transit, the mass transit agency for this region of the state, has begun construction on a longer, north-south system in Seattle that could ultimately link communities all the way from the city's northern suburbs to Sea-Tac International Airport. The partially underground line will include one of the deepest stations ever to be excavated in soil in North America.
