Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) and Alstom signed a new TSSSA service contract worth EUR 300 million for 1,210 railcars.
The Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement (TSSSA) will run from October 2022 for a period of five years, five months to align with the duration of GTR’s National Rail Contract. That means that Alstom will continue to support the Derby-built Class 377 and Class 387 Electrostar fleets in operation on Southern, Gatwick Express and Great Northern services into London’s Victoria and King’s Cross stations.
“The TSSSA service contract renews our association with Alstom, securing the continued support our excellent teams require to maintain our fleet,” Steve Lammin, Engineering Director at GTR said.
Along with Alstom’s unique material supply facility in Brighton, Alstom and GTR teams located across GTR’s four major depots in Battersea, Brighton, Hornsey and Selhurst will work together to support a total fleet of 1,210 cars and ensure the highest standards of train availability, reliability and safety for some of the UK’s busiest commuter routes.
Alstom has been a long-term trusted partner to GTR, having already serviced the fleets for nearly 20 years.
