TfL seeks bidders for £3.6m contract to repair Piccadilly Line rolling stock

Transport for London (TfL) is seeking bidders for a contract to overhaul the brake parts and vertical suspension damper mounting brackets for London Underground’s Piccadilly Line rolling stock.

The contract is divided into five lots, which will be distributed through a maximum of three framework agreements.

They cover repair and overhaul of brake head assembly, brake head guides and brake levers; supplying new brake levers; and supplying new vertical damper top and bottom mounting brackets.

The lots are worth up to £3.6m in total and the framework agreements will last for four years.

The framework agreements will be awarded on a zero value basis, with no obligation for the company to purchase a minimum number of parts.

Potential bidders have until 20 January to submit tenders and requests to participate. To view the contract notice, click here.

Why can't they just replace the trains LU promised a daily service from Turnham Green once the 1973 tube stock is replaced they won't tell any of the local residents this because they don't want to annoy them.

Oh my, Matthew Read actually wants to see trains being replaced.

I think that new trains for Piccadilly Line and Bakerloo Line will not happen until 2025. And yes the Piccadilly Line rolling stock does need refurbishment with new Passenger Information Display, seats, lights and a deep cleansing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Tube_for_London

No I just want a better train service in my local area.
