London Underground maintenance company, Tube Lines, has signed a contract with Capgemini UK plc to extend its IT services agreement for another two years.

Under the new contract, Capgemini will continue to be responsible for IT systems that assist Tube Lines in its work with London Underground. Tube Lines maintains the trains, tracks and stations for the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines which together carry almost two million passengers a day.

The Capgemini service also involves supporting some 2,500 Tube Lines staff at its 70 locations across the capital.

Adrian Davey, Head of IT at Tube Lines, commented, “IT underpins the services we provide and simply has to work well if the current massive investment in London Underground infrastructure is to deliver the major improvements that our customers and passengers expect from it.”
