Alstom has signed a 15-year extension to its Train Services Agreement with Greater Anglia in the United Kingdom for the operator’s Class 720 Aventra fleet.
The contract, valued at approximately £800 million, provides continuity for the Aventra fleet and a long-term framework for Alstom, Greater Anglia and future Great British Railways to collaborate on performance, reliability and the passenger experience.
Under the agreement, Alstom will continue to maintain Greater Anglia’s fleet of 133 five-car Class 720 Aventra electric multiple units at Greater Anglia’s Seven Kings Depot, ensuring the fleet remains available to support intensive commuter and regional services throughout the region. The fleet – financed and owned by Angel Trains – was built at Derby Litchurch Lane Works, one of Alstom’s global Centres of Excellence for rolling stock.
The Aventra platform has become a British success story, combining UK design, engineering and manufacturing with strong in-service performance. This long-term agreement marks the next chapter for the Class 720 fleet, supporting Greater Anglia’s objective of delivering an even better service for its customers and communities as it moves toward GBR.
The TSA covers all planned maintenance activities, including major overhauls, as well as unplanned maintenance, fault rectification, material supply and a comprehensive program of reliability growth initiatives. The contract also includes the ongoing delivery of performance improvements aimed at maximizing fleet availability and supporting Greater Anglia’s operational requirements.
The agreement supports around 100 roles at Alstom.
