378 Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS) has been awarded the Tunnel Outstation Maintenance Services (TOMS) contract by 1466 Transport for London (TfL) for the maintenance of critical intelligent transportation systems (ITS) infrastructure within TfL’s twelve road tunnels and the associated 90 kilometres of road corridors for the next 10 years.

Supported by radio systems supply partner, Simoco EMEA, Cubic will commence work on the contract this month and begin full service delivery by February 2016.

“London’s twelve tunnels are used by hundreds of thousands of vehicles every day. We are therefore always looking to ensure that the technology within them is kept as modern and dynamic as possible,” said Dana Skelley, director of asset management at TfL. “This new contract is key to keeping our tunnels operational, allowing us to help keep London moving as part of our wider Road Modernisation Plan.”

“This is an extremely important and exciting win for Cubic. We are confident in our efforts to enhance the transport experience for commuters using London’s critical tunnel infrastructure,” said John Pickworth, business development director, Cubic Transportation Systems in UK and Europe.

Chris Bax, managing director of Cubic ITMS said,  “With the move to a dedicated new service centre in East London, Cubic is ready to deliver exemplary service for TfL as it works to keep London on the move.”
