Some great news for the country.  About time rather than sending it abroad.

Good news for Derby folk. Been hearing about it lots.
I travel to Derby twice a day now and have BBC Radio Derby tuned in.
What I can't understand is why they didn't get the other contract in 2011.
Siemens, a German company did. ??

Talk about looking after your own !

Bombardier is a Canadian company. They laid off 400 workers in Derby after losing the Thameslink contract. They're now going to take on up to 340, net loss at least 60 jobs.

I didn't know that, I know they do a lot of work on traffic lights in the UK.
