telent secures multimillion pound contract extension to maintain communications
on Northern Line


30 October 2007 - telent, a leading provider of technology services, today
announced that its contract with Alstom Transport for the ongoing maintenance of
communications systems on the Northern Line has been extended by a further five
years.


The extension comes after a successful ten-year partnership with Alstom, a
global leader in rail infrastructure. The multimillion-pound contract will see
telent continue to provide essential maintenance of communications systems on
the Northern Line, including track-to-train CCTV and track-to-train data. The
delivery of these maintenance services will ensure that London Underground can
support its operations with efficient communications systems.

"The continued association with Alstom demonstrates our customers' confidence in
our understanding of the underground environment and our ability to provide a
superior service and support on safety critical systems," said Adrian Groves,
General Manager of Metro at telent. "Our continual investment into management
tools such as TRAMMS (our maintenance management system), coupled with
investment in staff and training, has ensured that we continue to deliver an
excellent service to our customers."


The new contract will run from January 2008 to January 2013.


telent has provided integrated services and solutions to clients in the UK Rail
industry for many years. Only last week, telent announced that it had been
awarded a three-year contract with Stagecoach's South West Trains to provide
maintenance and support for the train operator's stations and control rooms. The
contract, worth over #1m per annum, was the first to be awarded to telent by a
train operating company.
