Alstom has signed an agreement to buy Balfour Beatty’s share of Signalling Solutions Ltd (SSL), a 50-50 joint-venture between Alstom and Balfour Beatty established in 2007 to provide advanced signalling solutions to the UK and Ireland’s rail sectors. Alstom thus becomes the sole owner of SSL.
Since its creation, SSL has expanded rapidly to become one of the major UK signalling players in the provision of train control solutions, offering a complete range of services from project design to full delivery. SSL employs 540 people in 4 main locations. This acquisition takes Alstom Transport’s workforce in the United Kingdom and Ireland to 2,500.
