market
Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), a business unit of Cubic
Corporation (NYSE:CUB), today announced it was awarded a contract
from Northern, the U.K.’s largest train operator outside
London, to supply electronic gates at its stations. Northern will
receive Cubic’s next-generation, advanced electronic gating system
at eight stations, for a total of 52 installed gates. The gates are
equipped with ITSO-compliant smart card and barcode reading
capabilities, in addition to accepting magnetic tickets.
CTS already completed the installation at two stations – Wigan
Wallgate and Liverpool Lime Street – per the operator’s requested
September 30 deadline. The remaining six stations – Salford Cresent
(Manchester), Bolton, Blackburn, Bradford Forster Square, Halifax
and Harrogate – are scheduled to be completed by the end of March
2017.
“We are delighted to have Cubic on board, and with the
dedication of the entire team, including Network Rail and our
contractors, they were able to meet our requested deadline and
complete the gate installation of these first two stations in less
than two months,” said Alex Hynes, managing director, Northern.
“We are proud to have been entrusted with this important
contract for Northern and strengthen our foothold in the U.K.
market,” said Roger Crow, executive vice president and managing
director for Cubic Transportation Systems Europe. “We delivered the
first two stations in record time, thanks to a true team effort,
and we’re looking forward to delivering the remaining stations in
an equally efficient manner.”
