Default London Underground to take JNP maintenance in-house

From:
http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/n...-in-house.html

Transport for London is to take the management of maintenance on London
Underground’s Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines in-house when the
current contract with Amey ends in late 2017, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan
announced on August 24.

The contract with Amey is a legacy of the former public-private partnership
deals for maintenance of the London Underground infrastructure. Under the
PPP, infrastructure on the JNP lines was managed by the Tube Lines
consortium of Amey and Bechtel. In 2010 TfL bought the shares in Tube Lines
for £310m, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary. As part of this deal, Amey
continued to manage the delivery of maintenance services under a 7½ year
agreement which ends in 2017.

Maintenance on the rest of the London Underground network has been
undertaken in-house since the demise of PPP concessionaire Metronet in
2007. The Mayor’s office said bringing maintenance of the JNP lines
in-house at ‘the earliest possible point the contract allows’ was expected
to save at least £80m in ‘expensive management fees’ over the next decade.

London Underground Managing Director Mark Wild said TfL would be ‘working
closely with Amey over the next 18 months to ensure a smooth transition’.

‘I have asked TfL to carry out a root-and-branch review of all its business
operations, and the decision to bring underground maintenance work in-house
will save tens of millions of pounds to invest in our transport network and
pay for my freeze in TfL fares’, said Khan. ‘London Underground already has
experience running successful maintenance operations in-house, and we’re
making the changes as soon as the contract allows. I want TfL to be the
best in the world while staying in public control.’
