Westinghouse was the largest signalling design and control engineering company within the UK. Its largest contract was awarded in 2004: a ten-year £850m re-signalling of eight London Underground lines for the Metronet Public-Private Partnership.
The company was owned by Invensys plc before being sold to Siemens in 2013. It is now part of Siemens Mobility, the Westinghouse name having been dropped.
