An Alstom/Thales joint venture has won a €330 million contract to resignal seven metro lines on Hong Kong’s urban rail network.
The project includes the installation, and an option for the maintenance, of Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) signalling technology on the Tsuen Wan Line (TWL), Island Line (ISL), Kwun Tong Line (KTL), Tseung Kwan O Line (TKL), Airport Express Link (AEL), Tung Chung Line (TCL) and Disneyland Resort Line (DRL).
Alstom and Thales will replace MTR’s current Automatic Train Supervision (ATS) system, interlocking and Automatic Train Control (ATC) system.
