SSR resignalling contract awarded

[snoggle]

Just a short note to say that LU have finally concluded their negotiations with Thales over the SSR resignalling. It follows the cancellation of the old contract with Bombardier. Note the huge increase in cost for the new contract compared to the old one with Bombardier. There is also a sting in the tail with work on the next line upgrades now postponed until 2023 when SSR resignalling completes. The 72 stock will be able to collect its pension before it leaves service.
