The qustion Boltar you should be asking is how much will the

could enlighten us.


It's contractors plural isn't it? Don't Alstom provide and maintain
these trains for LU on the never-never?


It's my understanding that the original Alstom contract was passed to
Tube Lines, who now have Alstom as their subcontractor.


That figures with something in an LU press release mentioning both.
