TFL want Alstom to build the next Northern/Jubilee Line Trains Is that confirmed? How can it be? The tender documentation hasn't been sent out yet. That's the whole point of a post in another thread. It is worth pointing out that this thread is about the ITT for the New Tube for London and nothing to do with extra stock for the Northern and Jubilee Lines. There are several firms shortlisted for those extra trains. All anyone can say is that Alstom must be in a good position to put in a good bid for the work. If anyone at LU is wondering around "saying we want Alstom to win" then they're daft because if that reached the ears of the other bidders they'd have grounds for complaint.

A new paper for financial authority to progress modernisation of the Picc Line and W&C Line as part of NTfL. content.tfl.gov.uk/fpc-160302-11-ntfl-authority-2016.pdfConfirms the planned sequence is Piccadilly, Waterloo and City, Bakerloo and then Central. It will still take another 10 years to complete the first two lines! There is a rather guarded statement that the financial position faced by TfL provides sufficient funding is anticipated to be prioritised through the business planning process to allow the core elements of thisprogramme to proceed to enable delivery of critical asset renewal and capacity improvements. Note the references to "core elements" rather than full scope and "anticipated to be prioritised" in other words "not yet finalised". Para 3.22 in the paper sets out the thinking about the sequence of changed operation on the Picc and why the sequence of line upgrades has swapped round. Interestingly the summary business case for the PLU is included and shows a benefit / cost ratio of 4:1 which is a good score. Also TfL are saying there is no "do nothing" option because of the state / age of the assets so the upgrade is assessed against a "do minimum" set of asset interventions to keep things going.
