London Underground launches competition for new Northern line trains

London Underground has invited expressions of interest to supply new Tube trains for the Jubilee and Northern lines. A formal Invitation to Tender should be issued in early 2015 for up to 18 metro trains for the Jubilee line and up to 50 trains for the Northern line – five of which will be put into service on the Northern line extension from Kennington to Battersea.
Transport for London (TfL) said the new units will increase capacity on the Jubilee line by 13 per cent and the Northern line by 25 per cent.
