New engineering stock

"Short description of the contract or purchase(s):

London Underground has identified the need to replace a significant proportion of its wagon fleet that supports its infrastructure maintenance activities.
The 2 main priorities of this project are to:
— Replace wagons that are viewed as life expired (some are 50 years old), and
— Provide replacement wagons with a greater load capacity and thus improve efficiency.
London Underground is built to 3 infrastructure gauges — LG1, LG2 and LG3.
The most onerous and restrictive gauge is LG1 which the wagons will need to comply with to allow running access with all parts of the LU System.

"Total quantity or scope:

This contract is to procure approximately 66 new box wagons, 15 new flat deck wagons and 5 new flat deck wagons with drop sides though the exact numbers may vary.
The wagons are required to be able to transit on both Network Rail and LU infrastructure; and therefore, approval to both sets of standards. The wagons would need to be smaller than Network Rail's similar wagons to allow for LG1 gauging."
