Ten of London’s largest tube stations are to introduce a range of green measures in order to become more environmentally friendly. 

Over the next 12 months 10 of London’s largest tube stations (Bank, Charing Cross, Earl's Court, Green Park, Holborn, Hyde Park Corner, Knightsbridge, Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Victoria) aim to become more environmentally friendly by implementing a range of energy saving initiatives, including switching off escalators during off-peak hours and turning off unnecessary lighting during daylight and engineering hours. By signing up to London’s 10:10 commitment, It is estimated that the introduction of these carbon cutting measures should help save an estimated £70,000 and over 500 tonnes of CO2 per year.

This new initiative aims to build on the success of London Underground's Energy Station Challenge, an internal energy saving competition that encourages station staff across the network to reduce energy consumption at their station by switching off unnecessary equipment. 

The ten stations that have signed up to 10:10 will all receive detailed energy efficiency plans to help them achieve the 10 per cent target.
