SIEMENS AND TFL SIGN TUBE CONTRACT

摘要

LONDON UNDERGROUND has signed a contract with Siemens to build 94 new trains for the Piccadilly Line, but strained finances at Transport for London have led to resignalling of the line being put on hold.TfL said:'We remain committed to delivering new signalling on the Piccadilly line, as well as the other deep tube lines, but without confirmed capital funding beyond 2020, we have decided to work with our suppliers to review the programme so that it delivers in the most efficient way. We will therefore be discontinuing the current procurement to allow it to reflect our latest thinking in the future'. Alstom, Siemens and Thales had been shortlisted as bidders.
