London Underground begins search for additional trains
22 August 2014GREAT BRITAIN – London Underground (LU) announced last month that it has begun a search to secure additional Jubilee and Northern Line trains. It said combining the orders would ensure value for money for customers, and that the additional trains and modern signalling system will boost capacity.
An LU spokesman said, "The new trains will enable greater frequencies on the Jubilee and Northern lines and support Tube services for the proposed Northern line extension from Kennington to Battersea. LU has placed a notice with the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) seeking expressions of interest to supply new trains for the Jubilee and Northern lines. A formal Invitation to Tender is expected to be issued in early 2015."
