Automatische Übersetzung. Originaltext in: EN - Original anzeigen Alstom has signed a contract worth around €430 (£370) million for 10x new nine-car Aventra trains for Transport for London’s Elizabeth line, along with associated maintenance until 2046. Opened in 2022, the Elizabeth line continues to experience passenger demand ahead of predictions and its current 70-strong fleet of Alstom-built Aventra Class 345 trains would be insufficient to meet demand later this decade and through the 2030s. Like the rest of the fleet, the additional Aventra electric multiple unit (EMU) passenger trains will be built at Alstom's Derby Litchurch Lane Works¹, the only UK facility that designs, engineers, builds and tests trains for domestic and export markets.


¹ Derby Litchurch Lane Works is Alstom's largest manufacturing facility globally. The factory was opened by the Midland Railway in 1876 and the city of Derby has been building trains continually since 1839. / Quellen: https://www.alstom.com/press-releases-news/2024/6/alstom-signs-eu430-million-contract-10-aventra-trains-associated-maintenance-elizabeth-line-london
