    XC Voyager Refurbishment

    No word on it that I know of, but I don't think XC would have any use for tilt.

    Potential up to 2,000 job losses at Alstom Derby

    Trains for the UK Market. We import trains, but we don't export them. It is not a level playing field.

    Northern Tender for up to 450 units

    Are the touchscreens ever used for operationally critical functions?

    29 new trains for Transpennine Express ?

    Is it clear if these new units would be bi/tri-mode, or all electric?

    Very Light Rail stock ordered for passenger trials

    A new manufacturing facility? Is this the start of a new all-British manufacturer?

    Class 222 refurbishment

    Potential up to 2,000 job losses at Alstom Derby

    If their purpose was to work in pairs, forming 10 car trains, why don't they have end gangways?

    Potential up to 2,000 job losses at Alstom Derby

    That's the fourth foreign owner of the BREL assets. Why do they keep pulling out? Is it a toxic liability that bankrupts every owner?

    What is the biggest class of locomotive in the UK that did not have a single member survive into preservation?

    Deservedly so, toilet in just one carriage, but no gangway, what were they thinking? Still, given how few EMU vehicles have been preserved, surely a more numerous class has been lost? That said, the classification of southern electric units was pretty fluid.
