News this morning that Eurostar have put in a big order for new trains. Where do you think they going to be built then? Some low wage South East Asian country we can't possibly compete with? China?
Nope, Germany. :angry:
Of course the French are very upset they haven't continued ordering theirs. As for places like Doncaster and Crewe, well it's just a crying shame isn't it?

This is the result of 'privatisation' and allowing 'market forces' to rule.
I seem to remeber being made redundant from the railway as they cut jobs to make it more saleable.
Doncaster, Crewe, Bletchley (now a lovely supermarket) and doubtless other locations have been sacrificed in the fight against 'nationalisation' ........
........ Haven't many of us heard it before?????
Divide and conquer.
