Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), a business unit of Cubic Corporation, was awarded a contract from Northern, the UK’s largest train operator outside London, to supply electronic gates at its stations. Northern will receive Cubic’s next-generation, advanced electronic gating system at eight stations, for a total of 52 installed gates. The gates are equipped with ITSO-compliant smart card and barcode reading capabilities, in addition to accepting magnetic tickets.
CTS already completed the installation at two stations, Wigan Wallgate and Liverpool Lime Street. The remaining six stations – Salford Cresent (Manchester), Bolton, Blackburn, Bradford Forster Square, Halifax and Harrogate – are scheduled to be completed by the end of March 2017.
“We are proud to have been entrusted with this important contract for Northern and strengthen our foothold in the UK market. We delivered the first two stations in record time, thanks to a true team effort, and we’re looking forward to delivering the remaining stations in an equally efficient manner,” said Roger Crow, executive vice president and managing director for Cubic Transportation Systems Europe.
