Short description of the contract or purchase(s):

(2) the contract term will be eight years with an option to extend by up to 31 months, exercised at TfL's discretion.;
(3) the Crossrail train services will connect the City, Canary Wharf, the West End and Heathrow Airport to commuter areas east and west of London.
(4) In addition to the services identified above, the Crossrail Train Operator may be required to operate train services and manage stations on routes further out to Reading and/or Ebbsfleet and/or on additional routes from Liverpool Street to Chingford, Enfield Town and Cheshunt. Such operations are dependent on future decisions by the Department for Transport.

(a) Adopting and operating the existing Shenfield to Liverpool Street train services and associated stations that are anticipated to be separated from the Greater Anglia Franchise in 2015. This may involve operating and maintaining existing leased rolling stock and/or the short term leasing of additional rolling stock, that in due course is anticipated to be partially replaced by new rolling stock supplied by TfL.
(b) Supporting the anticipated introduction of a new fleet of class 345 rolling stock (including making any necessary interim arrangements for the provision and/or maintenance of rolling stock whilst the new fleet is being introduced) anticipated to be initially on the route between Liverpool Street and Shenfield, and the subsequent roll-out of the new fleet across the Crossrail network thereafter.
(c) Development of a close operational relationship with TfL's Crossrail rolling stock and depot provider to ensure that the new fleet maintenance and performance requirements are achieved.

(j) Entering into station and track access agreements and station leases.
(k) Collection and protection of TfL's revenue.
(l) Generation of some secondary revenue.
