Hopefully some news on a crossrail order will be forthcoming .
The largest by far was Crossrail, which was awarded to Derby in February last year. It will see Litchurch Lane produce 65 trains.
Bombardier is currently investing £12.5 million at its Derby site to create a new production, testing and office complex, specifically for the Crossrail contract.
Bombardier also has the potential to add to its growing order book.
The firm has pre-qualified for a contract called New Tube for London.
The deal, valued at up to £2.5 billion, will be for 250 trains, which will operate on London Underground lines from the mid-2020s.
With this sort of contract I can see Bombardier snapping us up.
