Obviously living near Derby I am very disapointed that the contract has not gone to Bombardier for the good of the local ecomomy. I am also very concerned that the project may not be a significant advance on the the HST in it's present form.
The HST has been a great servant to British Railways over the last 30 years and it is a very tough act to follow, probably one of the toughest ever. It is a train I have always enjoyed travelling on and prefer it to the Pendolinos and the Voyagers. I to have read Ford's article!
What does interest me is that you say that the deal is not finally done. Is there still hope that it might swing the other way?
Best wishes,
John H-T.
