On the 26th April 2024, 917 years worth of experience (32people) leave my department of Carbodies (welding) at Alstom Derby. This is due to the UK not having a long term rail strategy which has left us without any workload. #alstomderby @AlstomUK @LouHaigh @Mark_J_Harper – at Derby, England

12 years later, and train building in the UK is in the same position. We need a rolling stock strategy to remove high demand, no demand for rolling stock orders. @AlstomUK @catkinson80 @RMTunion @unitetheunion @Mark_J_Harper @LouHaigh @SamanthaNiblet4 youtube.com/watch?v=9mrhJmMR… – at Penistone, England

After 19 years and after 2085 vehicles have been built the Electrostar comes to an end. Its been the go to vehicle at Bombardier Derby, its was built with quality and reliability at its heart. End to end this would stretch for 45 miles. Well done all involved #madeinBritain – at Penistone, England
