Alstom awarded a 117 million euro contract for the
maintenance of the London Underground

Alstom Transport has handled the maintenance of this fleet
since 1996, in Londons Stratford Market depot. Under the
terms of the renewed contract, Alstom will continue to maintain
the fleet for the next 10 years, until 2017. The Jubilee Line
fleet currently consists of 63 trainsets manufactured by
Alstom. The line has seen traffic frequency increase
significantly in recent years, due to the development of the
East London districts (in particular the business district of
Canary Wharf). Traffic is expected to continue to grow as the
line will serve the facilities for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Elsewhere in London, Alstom has managed the maintenance of the
Northern Line fleet the busiest line on Londons
underground system - since 1995. Alstom will continue to
maintain the 106 trainsets operating on the line until 2017
with an option for 10 additional years.

Within Alstom Transport, maintenance is one of the activities
with the strongest potential for growth, thanks to the opening
up of competition in freight and passenger transport. Over
recent years, Alstom has won major contracts for the
maintenance of freight locomotives for BNSF (United States),
high-speed Pendolino tilting trains operated on
the West Coast Main Line (United Kingdom), the Bucharest metro
(Romania), and the maintenance of trainsets and infrastructure
on the Dublin, Barcelona and Reims tramways.
