What is being bought
Transport for London (TfL) is initiating this Early Market Engagement (EME) to connect with potential specialist suppliers of air system hoses for the Bakerloo Line fleet.
This EME presents an opportunity for you to share your technical knowledge, experience, and insights to help TfL shape the requirements and specification for a Best-in-Class air system hose solution. Your input will be instrumental in informing our procurement strategy and ensuring alignment with industry best practices.
There are 36 seven-car trains operating on the Bakerloo Line 72TS. These consist of the following types of vehicles: Driving Motor (DM), Trailer (T), Uncoupling Non- Driving Motor (UNDM). They are formed into three and four car units that combine to make a seven-car train.
72TS are direct release Automatic Air Brake (AAB) trains with an air compressor, on each trailer, supplying compressed air to the brakes and pneumatics systems. The hoses, provide flexible connections to components via the network of steel and copper piping.
