Bidders announced for extra Croydon trams

摘要

Transport for London (TfL) has revealed the shortlist to supply Croydon Tramlink with up to ten more trams to increase services on the network. The three bidders have been named as City of Edinburgh/CAF, Stadler (Stadler Pankow GmBH) and Pesa (Pojazdy Szynowe PESA Bydgoszcz S.A.Holding). They will now submit detailed proposals to supply the additional vehicles. If acceptable bids are received, the extra trams could be in service by next spring. The London Borough of Croydon has confirmed a £3 million funding contribution for the project, which will also include the refurbishment of tram stop surrounds.
