The deal will see Linbrooke deliver the signalling and power construction works, the telecommunications system design and construction, and will be the overall UK Tester in Charge.

The project is scheduled to be commissioned in March 2018.

Last month, Ansaldo STS won a $31.5m contract from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) in the US, to design, furnish, test and commission a signalling and train control (S&TC) system for its West Side Subway Extension.

The extension will be around 3.9 miles from its existing terminus at Wilshire/Western Station to a new Wilshire/La Cienega station, and include three new stations.

The new S&TC system will be designed to provide safe and efficient movement of trains along the extension’s mainline and interlocked tracks.
