"The London Tube boss today warned that passengers could suffer years of disruption because of a £12 billion funding gap in planned upgrades to two lines.

"Transport for London’s managing director Mike Brown called for government cash to complete the Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines’ modernisation as well as upgrades to Bank, Monument and Holborn stations.

"He said reliability on the services — with 30-year-old trains operating on the Piccadilly line — would be affected, and cash would be wasted on repairs."
