That depends on how keen we are to outsource rolling stock manufacturing to China along with everything else they make for us.微博轻享版

As part of the government’s Chile on Rails investment strategy, EFE awarded contracts in 2018 and 2019 for CRRC Qingdao Sifang to supply 12 three-car electric multiple-units and three two-car diesel multiple-units.
The first sets were shipped from China in December. Total cost of the package is put at US$87m including the construction of a maintenance depot in Hualqui.
Are we? We have an agreement with Japan which has explicit provisions for Hitachi to be involved in our rolling stock market. Hitachi appear to have made some rolling stock in the Newton Aycliffe factory for the Milan metro. The arguments with the EU don't seem to extend to Siemens, Alstom and CAF manufacturing trains in the UK or constructing them on mainland Europe and supplying them to us. How many other countries do we need to be on good terms with regarding rolling stock?Then there are these CRRC EMUs/DMUs for Chile

But currently we seem to be falling out with anybody capable of making trains.
All part of "taking back control", of course.
As far as I am concerned, this country should have nothing to do with their trains whilst their current regime is in power and inflicting well documented human rights abuses. I am not a fan of the more hawkish parts of the tory party, but I do consider their stance on china to be bang on.The strained atmosphere with China is political.
