THE PRIVATE FINANCE INITIATIVE WITHIN LONDON UNDERGROUND LIMITED

London Underground Limited, LUL, has already had two notable PFI successes to date; the Northern Line Trains service contract and an Information Technology contract at Canary Wharf. Additionally, there are a number of further PFI projects that are well advanced such as Power, Prestige and Connect. This paper focuses on the principles and key milestones of PFI projects through a review of the strengths and weaknesses of this initiative. In addition the paper details an overview of Private Finance projects under consideration within LUL and how this initiative is being used within London Underground to support future investment. For the covering abstract, see IRRD E100685.
