RFID Benefits Reaches London Tube

These tags would be providing location based information in order to place an engineer at a particular twenty meter length of track. Since GPS cannot operate in tunnels, RFID was chosen over it. These trials are a part of a massive overhaul and modernization of the London underground.
According to Martyn Capes, project manager, Tube Lines:
The trials involve putting location information onto the RFID tag, which is generally then attached to a railway sleeper. An RFID reader built into the Symbol device can then be used to tell the engineers on the track where they are.
