Lol that's a good one!! Can you imagine the French or Germans giving a major railway production contract to England?? Never in a zillion years. Utterly disgraceful move by the government out to cut costs again, only short sighted because now for getting a cheaper deal for the trains they'll now have to pay unemployment benefits to 1,500 Derbymen instead!! A bit like their plans to make everyone work until they are 386 or until they die. Great at solving the pensions crisis but then if nobody ever retires then it creates an unemployment crisis at the other end as there will be no jobs for young people if the oldies never stand down.briyeo1950 wrote:We are going to get the new Bombardier train in RW2 even though Thameslink are not.
