Traffic technology supplier 189 Siemens officially opens a new regional traffic service operation in London today, solely dedicated to contracts in the capital placed with Siemens by 1466 Transport for London (TfL). The brand new depot in Enfield, one of 20 facilities around the country, is a strategic move by Siemens to manage all London activities from one location including two Traffic Control Maintenance Services contracts and the new Detection and Enforcement Infrastructure (D&EI) contract for TfL.

The new Enfield Traffic Depot accommodates over thirty management and support staff for both contracts, supporting a team of around 50 field staff. With additional training facilities for both Siemens and TfL staff and testing facilities for both traffic signals and ANPR equipment, the new facility also includes a full warehouse operation for local stocking of traffic equipment and spares enabling a swift response to all TfL requirements across London.
