27. TRAINS: the end for UK manufacturing? Alstom begins Derby factory mothballing

from Green Signals · host Green Signals Productions

Are 147 years of UK manufacturing of trains about to come to an end in Derby as Alstom begins the process of mothballing its facility there? The Jacobite steam train dispute between West Coast Railway Company and the Office of Rail and Road rumbles on. Is Labour about to do a u-turn on bringing the railways back into public ownership? Leading to a somewhat spicy debate between Nigel and Richard about the potential costs of rail nationalisation… And a new £17.5 million rail terminal opens at Southampton docks.
