A look behind the scenes of the London underground as it undergoes the biggest overhaul in its history, focusing on key members of staff and some of the problems they face. The series follows key members of the London Underground's 19,000-strong staff, from CEO Howard Collins through to the litter pickers who clear miles of track every night.Drivers, station staff and emergency response workers reveal their unique perspective on the travelling public. Capturing the tube in all its guises, from tourist transport to suburban commute, or the last train home for partygoers, this series also looks behind the scenes of the tube's ten billion pound upgrade - and how the process of dragging a Victorian infrastructure kicking and screaming into the 21st century doesn't always run on rails.
Episode 1 (Weekend) highlighted the difficulties of undertaking major renewal of the tracks without disrupting the weekday service, the engineer works at Harrow-on-the-Hill station which results with no Metropolitan Line nor National Rail services at the station until the completion of the engineer works and the handling of an incident at Leicester Square Station where a woman was pushed onto the electrified tracks at Platform 4, resulting with hundred's of crowds, an arrest (although the suspect was later released without charge) and Northern Line services from North and Southbound trains to pass without stopping before closing the station when the Northern Line is suspended at Leicester Square.

Episode 2 (Revenue) looked at the work of ticket inspectors and others working to track down the estimated 60,000 people who use the system each day without paying for a ticket, which costs the Underground some £20 million in lost revenue each year, the episode also includes two ladies who are the ticket inspectors for the Northern Line, two men keeping the guard and lookouts for any Oyster card system problems on the Hammersmith and City Line at Latimer Road tube station, The Metropolitan Line makes a change as the A Stock train is replaced with a brand new S Stock Train and both lines, as well as the Circle Line, are suspended from Liverpool Street tube station when a track failure is heard at Farringdon tube station.

Episode 3 (Emergency Response) looked at the trauma caused to drivers when passengers fall or jump in front of a train. It also looked at the work of the emergency response unit at Bank and Euston Station where in both cases, the passengers were fatally injured and the types of incident that they have to deal with, and the stresses put on the system by the Notting Hill Carnival, as well as some busy crowds for the plans at both Notting Hill Gate and Westbourne Park stations were 42 arrests have been made without any serious incidents.

Episode 4 (Upgrading the Tube) looked at reliability issues following the introduction of new trains on the Victoria line and the knock-on effects caused by the failure of a newly installed signal. It also looked at the work of a station supervisor at Tottenham Court Road as he tried to ensure that customers kept moving during an upgrade to the station which will increase its size by a factor of six, resulting in the Northern Line to pass TCR without stopping for 7 months until the upgrade is complete.

Episode 5 (Rush Hour) covered Bank station, where five passengers suffered from fainting or injury during a single rush hour shift, and problems on the Jubilee line when a failure of the power supply almost disrupted the evening peak services. It also showed the use of a hawk called Toyah to clear train sheds of pigeons.

Episode 6 (Overnight), the final episode, aired on 26 March 2012,[4] featured the work of cleaners, who work during the four-hour period each night when the power is switched of, to clean the stations and remove lint and fibres from the tracks to reduce the risk of fire. Other stories included the work of a pest controller at Hounslow Central, and a visit to the disused Down Street tube station by a member of the emergency response team.
