Bombardier and London Underground execute Joint Release Agreement
BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwired - Dec 31, 2013) - Bombardier
Transportation and London Underground (LU) today announced that the
signalling contract for the Circle, District, Hammersmith &
City and Metropolitan lines (Sub Surface lines) will be re-let by
LU following discussions between the two companies.
Bombardier was awarded a contract in June 2011 following a
competitive tender process, and has already undertaken a great deal
of preparatory works.
The new contract will see signalling modernised on 40 per cent
of the Underground network, allowing LU to run more trains, more
often and more reliably. Combined with 191 S-Stock trains, which
Bombardier has successfully supplied for the Metropolitan line and
which are now being introduced on the Hammersmith & City and
Circle lines, the upgrade will increase capacity on the Sub-Surface
lines - the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines by 65 per cent,
the District line by 24 per cent and the Metropolitan line by 27
per cent.
