Ben swaps Parliament for public transport

Our Head of Engineering Ben Brooks spent three years working at the Palace of Westminster – one of the most famous buildings in the world.

Ben worked as the Lead Electrical Engineer, helping to keep the lights on at the heart of government.

It was a job which took him to every corner of the historic parliamentary estate in London.

This included Big Ben, the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the basement where Guy Fawkes was infamously caught trying to blow the building up in the Gun Powder Plot of 1605.

From broken branches and fallen trees to flyaway carrier bags, damaged fences and even a shed on the move, our teams have been kept busy today by Storm Boelo.

We've been clearing obstructions from tracks and overhead lines, inspecting our stations, walls and fences, and coordinating the response from our Control Room to help keep services running safely.

Thank you for your patience if you've travelled with us today. Here's hoping for a much calmer Monday! 🤞
