Abstract
THERE CAN BE NO more graphic example of the cyclical nature of manufacturing than the experiences of Bombardier Trains. Its Derby manufacturing facility is currently manufacturing more trains per week than has ever been produced in its history. Production at the site is centred around three products: the Movia metro cars for the Victoria and Subsurface Lines (SSL), Class 379 Electrostars for National Express East Anglia and Class 172 Turbostars for Chiltern and London Midland. Whilst production is currently at a peak, all but the SSL contract will be complete by the end of the year, so Bombardier is seeking to secure more work for the site. It eagerly awaits pending announcements about key UK rail projects.
