런던지하철을 운영하는 London Underground(LU)는 런던지하철을 운행할 새로운 전동차 입찰을 위한 The Invitation to Tender (ITT)를 5개 철도차량 제작업체에 발송했다.
올해로 개통 153주년을 맞이하는 LU는 이름하여 New Tube for London을 진행중에 있으며 이를 통해 차량, 역사, 전철화 및 신호시스템 등 전반적인 시스템 개량사업을 진행중에 있다.
New Tube for London 에 가장 중요한 위치를 차지하는 이번 차량 입찰에는 최고 £2·5bn을 투자할예정이며 Piccadilly line에 100편성, Waterloo & City 10편성, Bakerloo line 40 편성, Central line 100편성 등 총 250 편성이 발주계획이 포함되어있다.
차량입찰에는 안전시설이 대폭 강화되었으며 승객편의를 위한 시설도 강화되어 그동안 노후된 전동차를 이용한 이용객들의 만족도가 높아질 것으로 기대하고 있다. 또한 무인운전도 기능도 입찰내용에 포함되었다.
입찰에 초대받은 5개의업체– Alstom, Bombardier, CAF, Hitachi ,Siemens- 는 지난 여름 이미 LU에 입찰에 참여 하겠다는 의사를 밝혀왔으며 2017년 가을쯤 최종업체가 선정될 예정이다. 영업운행은 2020년즈음에 시작될 예정이다.

New Tube for London invitations to tender issued
Transport for London has invited Alstom, Bombardier, CAF, Hitachi
and Siemens to tender to supply 250 new trainsets for the London Underground.
UK: Transport for London invited Alstom, Bombardier, CAF, Hitachi and Siemens to tender for a contract to supply 250 new trainsets for the London Underground on January 18.
The procurement forms part of the New Tube for London programme to modernise rolling stock, infrastructure and signalling on the small-profile Piccadilly, Waterloo & City, Bakerloo and Central lines.
Expressions of interest were invited in February 2014, when invitations to tender had been expected to be issued in early 2015. The five pre-qualified bidders have been asked to submit their proposals this summer, with the contract expected to be awarded in autumn 2017 and the trains to enter service from ‘the early 2020s’. The cost of the order is expected to be between £1bn and £2·5bn.
TfL said the trains would be ‘designed and built to be future-proofed, which will include the capability for fully-automatic operation, given that the New Tube will serve London for around 50 years.’
They would feature improved accessibility and safety features including walk-through carriages and wider doors, and would be first air-cooled trains on the deep tube sections of the network, where the installation of air-conditioning is impractical because there would be nowhere for the excess heat to go.
TfL has worked with PriestmanGoode to develop design concepts for the trains, with ‘attractive internal styling’ intended to balance ‘the design and function of a train that will serve London for decades to come’ with the network’s ‘world-renowned and instantly recognisable design heritage’.
‘Today’s invitation to train manufacturers to submit bids for the design and build of the New Tube is a significant step forward’, said Nick Brown, Managing Director of London Underground. ‘To meet the needs of our rapidly growing population we must continue to invest in and improve our services. More people are using the Underground than at any point in its 153-year history. The New Tube for London will transform the journeys of millions of customers, providing trains fit for a world city for the next five decades
