The Electrostar trains will be used by the UK’s largest railway franchise on their Great Northern network, connecting London King’s Cross with Cambridge, Peterborough and King’s Lynn.

This framework agreement has a fixed scope of at least 1890 interlocking units and a contract value of over 600 million euros.

Spanning approximately 120km, this system overlay integrates new safety features and enhanced interoperability across the entire Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) commuter network and beyond.

Journey experience for passengers has been improved with new, modern signalling equipment from Alstom at South Kirkby in West Yorkshire, England.

The three new projects reinforce the site position as a reference centre within the Alstom Group for the manufacture of Mitrac traction equipment for trains.

Locomotive that hauled the world’s first passenger train on a public railway was built in 1825 by a legacy Alstom company.

Components engineered and manufactured from Alstom’s Indian sites and maintenance executed at railway depots across the country.

Alstom is currently working with Trenitalia c2c to paint and repair the operator’s entire Class 357 Electrostar fleet – and the first train is now back in passenger service.

The new metros will run on line 1 of the Métropole Européenne de Lille transport network and will be equipped with Urbalis Fluence technology, which is based on direct train-to-train communication and embeds the system’s intelligence on board.

The new Urbalis CBTC signalling system will enhance the reliability, frequency, safety, and efficiency of line 6, the busiest line in the Madrid Metro network.
