The joint venture, Signalling Solutions Limited, has secured involvement in seven of the eight geographical regions covered by Network Rail's seven-year "New Signalling Frameworks", worth a total £1.5bn.

Contracting firm WS Atkins also got in on the act, having been announced as the preferred supplier for two of Network Rail's signalling renewal framework contracts.
