The underground is responsible for around a third of people’s public transport in London and thus is such a large part of commuting culture in London.
The Young Reporter Scheme provides a platform for student voices and articles are submitted online by school pupils aged 14 to 18. We do not actively moderate, monitor, or edit these contributions. However, as these young contributors are not trained or qualified journalists, mistakes can happen, and we take all legal and accuracy matters seriously. Therefore, if you have any issues with the Young Reporter content, please contact djarvis@newsquest.co.uk so we can act accordingly.
