Sorry to reply to my own post, but I forgot to add, it's another kick
in the teeth for Bombardier. OK, this is nowhere near as lucrative a
project as the Thameslink one, which was lost out to Siemens, but it's
still surely something they would have hoped to win - Bombardier made
the current Croydon tram stock, didn't they?

I wouldn't be surprised if the endless problems with the introduction of the
new victoria line stock due to inadequate testing hasn't helped Bombadiers
case in recent bids.
