Who pays for TfL's repairs?
Transport for London (TfL) funds major repairs like escalator replacements through a combination of fare revenue, government grants, and commercial income from advertising and property. While the government provides a significant portion, TfL also generates its own income to maintain and upgrade the network. This ensures the Tube, including Angel station, remains operational.
