It is a catastrophic shame that we will lose these skills. They have been building trains in Derby for many many years, its a bedrock of skills in this field..and now we stand to lose all that forever. Tory Minister Hammond said on R4 this morning that they had to go for the lowest quote..they were obliged to do so.
But the europeans play a different game and win. Bit like what we spoke about last week, the Germans got all the Chinese contracts too. Siemens have won through on both these deals and they jkeep beating everyone else. On top of that...French firms always get awarded French contracts, German firms get German contracts and so it goes on, but the same thing does not happen here.
On top of that we sell off all our business to the europeans too, and the americans. We seem to have a very muddled plan of action.
