Stadler selected Teleste to deliver on-board solution for Merseytravel metro trains in Liverpool. Under the contract, Teleste will provide end-to-end on-board deployment for the metro trains, covering all systems and components required for a smooth and safe passenger experience. The solution consists of Ethernet network, intercommunication and passenger counting, public address system, passenger information system, and high-quality LED and new generation, side-by-side TFT LCD displays, well suited for clear and sharp information delivery and advertising.
In addition, the advanced fleet management system enables remote content management of all the trains and ensures content distribution, even to the moving vehicles.
In 2017, Stadler and Merseytravel signed a EUR 797.57 million for the delivery of 52 metro trains, with an additional option of a further 60 vehicles, for the Merseyrail network. The new four-car trains will all be in service by 2021, with the first unit arriving for testing by the middle of 2019.
