    In the 1960's and early 1970's Chart Leacon was more often than not the winner or runner up in the BR Southern Region First Aid Competitions. They had a large and dedicated workforce.

    Last year I had the oportunity to visit the new Hiatachi Service Depot at Ashford and it was so sad to see that Chart Leacon (Now Bombadier) seems to have lost its way in 21st Century rail maintenance. The technology that is used for maintenance of our "Javelin" trains that we enjoy travelling on from Dover to London is incredible.

    No doubt the "railway buffs" on this forum will enlighten me as to why we (the British) have lost our traditional heritage industry to overseas.
